Air New Zealand appointed Alison Gerry, Claudia Batten and Paul Goulter as directors on the airline's Board. These appointments will add diverse and highly relevant skill sets to the Board and will be effective from their approval at the 2021 Annual Shareholder Meeting (ASM) later this year. Chairman Dame Therese Walsh said the appointments would provide further digital, strategic and employment relations expertise to support Air New Zealand's move into the Revive phase and to support management's objectives of prioritizing people and customers and investing in digital solutions that empower customers. Alison will take over as Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee from Jan Dawson on her retirement. Dame Therese said the appointments fill the vacancies created by the retirement of long-serving directors Jan Dawson, Rob Jager and Linda Jenkinson, who will leave the Board at the Company's ASM later this year.
