Julia Hoare.
Comvita Ltd has announced changes within the board, with non-executive director Luke Bunt indicating his intention to retire from the board of directors effective September 30, 2023. Bunt joined the board in July 2014 and has had a significant role in guiding the company through substantial change over that time, including as chair of the Audit and Risk Committee and as deputy chair.
Chair Brett Hewlett said: “I want to thank Luke for the valuable contributions he has made during his nine years’ tenure. Most significant was the support and wise counsel that Luke has provided in his capacity as deputy chair during a period of significant change for the business. He leaves us at a time when the company is on a much more stable footing and performing strongly.”
As previously announced in November 2022, Julia Hoare joined the board effective from March 1. She joined as a member of the Audit and Risk Committee and is intended to take over the chair of this committee upon Bunt’s retirement.
Comvita is committed to steady evolution of the board to meet the changing needs of the business in line with its future strategic direction. As such, Comvita will look to make another new director appointment prior to the AGM in 2023.
