ANDREW McKay will share the role of Carlton's interim chief executive while the club starts its hunt to replace Greg Swann.

McKay, who played 244 games with the Blues and is the club's current football manager, will hold the interim CEO position alongside chief financial officer Jason Reddick.

Global recruitment firm Egon Zehnder has been enlisted to help a board sub-committee to replace Swann, who announced his departure from the club last month.

The update was announced as Mark LoGiudice officially took over from retiring Stephen Kernahan as president of Carlton at Monday night's board meeting.

LoGiudice, who has been on the club's board since 2010 and a long-term member of the club's longest-serving coterie group the 'Carltonians', said an immediate priority was to play more games at the MCG.

"My goal is to help deliver the next chapter of sustained success, both on and off the field to give us all renewed reason to be passionate and proud," LoGiudice said.

"This includes in the immediate future securing more home games at the MCG, further reducing the club's historical debt, and ensuring we have the necessary resources in place to rise again."

"I would like to extend a sincere thank you to Stephen Kernahan. He is a legend of our club who has offered tremendous leadership and guidance. 'Sticks' is a man who wears his heart on his sleeve, and has kept our football club focused through some very challenging times."
