Lisa Martin will begin in her newly created role on the executive leadership team in November.
Pāmu has appointed Lisa Martin to the executive leadership team in the newly created role of general manager, sustainability and farming systems.
Martin has extensive experience improving the sustainability practices of the organisations she has worked with, including seafood company Sanford, where she was GM of group sustainability, and at Downer Group, where she was GM of environment and sustainability. She also co-founded a successful sustainability consultancy, Sustainz which provides sustainability advice to a range of organisations including New Zealand’s agricultural sector.
In her earlier career Martin worked in the environmental science field in New Zealand, Australia, and the UK.
She has BA in physical geography and economics and an MSc in environmental science and geography, both from the University of Auckland.
“I am excited that someone with Lisa’s experience is joining Pāmu to lead our environment and innovation teams across an increasingly complex range of issues,” Pāmu chief executive Steven Carden said.
Martin will take over the responsibilities previously held by Alison Dewes, Pāmu’s former head of environment, who resigned in May to focus on her consulting business. Dewes, who joined Pāmu in 2017, will continue to consult to Pāmu on specific environmental projects.
Ms Martin will take up her role in early November.
