The Australasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (ASUM) has announced the appointment of new Chief Executive Officer, Trish Manten.
Trish Manten brings a wealth of experience and executive skills to ASUM that span strategic planning, business development, commercial (contract) management, partnerships, project design and implementation.
The Board identified Trish’s passion for building engaged and purposeful teams to deliver organisational objectives and enhanced member and customer experiences as a key attribute. They believe her ability to build innovative and strategic third-party partnerships will support her leadership of ASUM, and enable the delivery of meaningful outcomes for members.
Alison Deslandes, President of ASUM, said the rigorous recruitment process has resulted in a CEO who will steer the future direction of ASUM for continued growth and success.

“I am excited to be joining ASUM as CEO in the coming months. I look forward to, alongside the Board, delivering strategic goals, supporting and enhancing the member experience and continuing to grow the research and Outreach programs. Leveraging my experience, with an inclusive approach to listening and learning, I look forward to leading ASUM on its next chapter of transformation and growth,” said Manten.
