Director, Corporate Affairs & Strategy Jaymes Boland-Rudder

Jaymes has worked for Serco since June 2024, with a focus on understanding the challenges facing governments in Australia and New Zealand and working with Serco’s global network to identify potential solutions.

Prior to joining Serco, Jaymes worked for the National Rugby League (NRL) for 10 years where he led efforts to grow the NRL’s revenue base by almost 40%; secure approximately $3 billion of investment in new stadia and high-performance facilities for rugby league across Australia and the Pacific; and expand the delivery of the NRL’s community programs across the region.

Jaymes also has extensive experience at the highest levels of Government, having worked for the NSW Government for 10 years, including serving as Deputy Chief of Staff to the NSW Premier and Chief of Staff to the NSW Minister for Roads and Ports. During this time, he helped with the transition of governments and worked on major projects such as the Port Botany and Port Kembla long-term leases; development of WestConnex; the National Disability Insurance Scheme; and the National Education Reform Agreement (Gonski Agreement). 

Jaymes is a passionate sports fan, an ardent follower of politics and is happiest when playing backyard cricket with his wife and two children.
