Michele Embling has been appointed to the position of non-executive director to New Zealand financial services company, P^werFinance.
Embling’s previous role included overseeing the establishment and monitoring of New Zealand's financial reporting framework, and she has been a strong advocate for diverse and inclusive leadership.

P^werFinance chair Bruce Baillie said: “As we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, New Zealand’s ongoing challenges around housing affordability, prosperity for small businesses, and the transition to a sustainable economy will remain a strong focus. ... to have someone with Michele’s experience and acumen join our team is a real coup ... [she has] a proven track record and her expertise will be of huge benefit to our customers as well as our business,” he said.
