Meridian Energy has announced the appointment of three new Board Directors. Michelle Henderson, Julia Hoare and Nagaja Sanatkumar, who will join the Board in the coming months.

Michelle is currently the Chief Operating Officer of PowerNet. Michelle has confirmed her resignation from her executive management role at PowerNet, which will allow her to commence her role as a Director on 16 October, prior to the Annual Shareholders' Meeting. She will retire and seek formal shareholder approval for her election at the Annual Meeting. Julia has strong governance, financial, accounting and auditing expertise. Her executive career at PWC included significant experience in sustainability and risk management. Julia will commence her role as a Director on 26 September 2019 and will retire and seek formal shareholder approval for her election at the Annual Shareholders' Meeting. Nagaja has an impressive international career including senior roles at Amazon. Nagaja will seek formal shareholder approval for her election at the Annual Shareholders' Meeting and, if elected, will commence her role as a Director on 1 January 2020. Her appointment is conditional upon ceasing her full-time role in executive management at Icebreaker, which is expected to take place prior to 1 January 2020.
