DIRECTOR: TIL: Trilogy International adds Australian based Director
Trilogy (NZX: TIL) announced today changes to its board of directors, with
the appointment of Mandy Sigaloff as a new Independent Director. Mandy is
based in Australia and has significant expertise in on-line business, media
and consumer marketing.
As part of the changes to the board, Rob Fyfe has advised he will not seek
re-election as a director at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (24
September). Rob has been an active Board member while based in the UK this
year but has indicated his intention to refocus his energies towards seeking
a new full-time executive role when he returns to New Zealand next year. Rob
advised of his intention not to seek re-election in June this year.
Trilogy Chairman Geoff Ross said the board is delighted to have someone with
Mandy's knowledge and expertise in on-line business join them.
Following 17 years managing international media brands including Grazia, Elle
and New Woman for EMAP PLC in London, Mandy moved into the digital area to
launch major music web sites, paid mobile content and, ultimately, lead
successful online start-ups. Mandy founded clubqt (www.clubqt.com.au), a
website which brings the best of the world's fashion together in an exciting
social shopping community. She was named one of Australia's business women
of the year in 2012 by 'Dynamic Business'.
Ross said in considering the new appointment the board had wanted someone who
could add value to day to day operations in Australia, the biggest market for
the business.
"With Mandy based in Australia she will be able to connect directly with our
team and service providers in the Australian market, which will be a huge
value-add to the board and business."
Mandy said she is excited to be involved with a business with great brands
like Ecoya and Trilogy. "I have watched the brands grow in the Australian
market and feel really excited about the opportunity for future growth in
on-line and the general consumer market," she said.
Ross said he wished to thank Rob Fyfe for his input to the board since his
appointment at the time of listing, and wishes him success with his future
endeavours.
Rob has advised the board that he has no current intention to reduce his
shareholding.
The change in the board structure will also mean changes to the audit
committee. The audit committee will consist of Sarah Gibbs, Mandy Sigaloff
and Rich Frank. Sarah will chair the audit committee. Sarah is a member of
the NZ Institute of Accountants. CEO and Director Stephen Sinclair will
attend audit committee meetings.
Ends.
