Andrew Reuven Bassat

Andrew Bassat is Chief Executive Officer of SEEK Investments and Non Executive Director of SEEK.

In 1997, Andrew created the website SEEK with his brother Paul and friend Matt Rockman. Together they raised a small amount of capital and took on the newspaper companies at their own game. Against all the odds, SEEK managed to completely transform the landscape of employment advertising from print-dominated to online. SEEK became one of Australia’s most successful online businesses, becoming an ASX top 100 listed company with a market capitalisation of $8 billion. It has expanded to the UK, China, Brazil, New Zealand and Malaysia.

Andrew was involved in all development stages of the SEEK business from its inception until he stood down as CEO in 2021. Andrew is also President of the St Kilda Football Club.

Prior to SEEK, Andrew was a management consultant with Booz Allen Hamilton, where he was involved in a wide range of strategic assignments for major Australian and international corporations. Earlier in his career, Andrew worked as a lawyer at Corrs Chamber Westgarth.

Andrew holds a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) degree from The University of Melbourne, a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) degree from Monash University and a Master of Business Administration degree from Melbourne Business School.
