He has a strong financial background, understanding of global capital markets and extensive corporate risk and governance expertise, having worked with Australian and International groups on strategy, M&A and capital market transactions. During his investment banking career, at J.P. Morgan, Greenhill & Co and Citi, Jon Gidney was involved in strategy development and significant transactions for a number of global real estate fund managers, ASX listed REITs, managed investment schemes and private investors.

Jon Gidney will join the Board Nomination & Governance Committee, Board Audit Committee and the Board People & Remuneration Committee and will stand for election at Dexus?s next Annual General Meeting, to be held on October 28, 2026. As Jon Gidney was previously employed by Citi, a financial advisor to Dexus until September 2023, he is not currently considered an independent director. However, Jon Gidney?s employment with Citi will have ceased more than three years prior the 2026 AGM and Dexus intends to revisit his independence status before he stands for election.
