The Brumbies have unveiled Michael Jones as their new chief executive for the next three years.

Jones replaces Doug Edwards, who resigned just four months into a two-year contract late last year. The Canberra local will take charge of the Brumbies immediately, joining the franchise after a stint with Sydney banking and corporate advisory firm, Canterbury Hill Advisory.

"I'm very excited about this opportunity, there is a lot of work to get the Brumbies and community rugby to where I want it, but I'm excited by the challenge," Jones said.

"Our Board and financial issues have been very public and well publicised. I'm happy the Board is now unified and focused and that we have plans to reverse our commercial trend. Some of that work will take a while, but one of the biggest areas we need to work on is getting Canberra behind us. Buying memberships and coming to our home games is the most tangible way that people and businesses can support us and ensure our success.

"The brand of the Brumbies and the quality of the playing group are the strengths of this organisation and are essential elements as we seek to turn this organisation around."
