Esteban Cox
Chief Executive Officer
Esteban arrived in Australia from Argentina in 2015 to lead a global provider of renal care to patients with chronic kidney disease in Australia and New Zealand.
Prior to arriving in Australia, Esteban was the Finance Director for Latin America and acted as Chief Executive Officer for companies based in Argentina and Uruguay. In 2018, Esteban and his family moved to the Northen Territory where he took on the role of Chief Financial Officer with Anglicare NT. It was here where he gained invaluable experience in the NDIS, social and age care services. As member of the leadership team, Estaban collaborated setting strategies for service delivery, including age care and monitored quality of delivery, risk and financial performance.
Esteban became captivated by Tasmania’s culture, geography, and its people during his many visits of the island state to the extent that he and his wife decided Tasmania to be their place live and retire in Australia. Esteban is passionate about caring for our senior citizens, which is why he decided to collaborate with an age care services provider joining Southern Cross Care Tasmania as a director and recently as its CEO, which he has embraced with full heart.
