FORMER Essendon administrator Peter Jackson has been appointed interim chief executive at Melbourne.

The Demons have been without a CEO since Cameron Schwab stepped down on April 9.

Jackson will take on the role from 1 May for six months, overseeing day to day operations through to the end of the season, and will also assist the Demons in the selection process for a full time CEO.

AFL CEO Andrew Demetriou endorsed Jackson's appointment in Sydney on Thursday.

"He's been one of the great CEO's of our competition when he was with the Essendon Football Club," he said.

"He's done some work for us recently, particularly through AFL Victoria and community football.

"He's very experienced, very strong and I think it's a great decision by the Melbourne Football Club."
