DIRECTOR: TIL: Trilogy International adds Media and Technology expert
Trilogy International Limited (Trilogy) (NZX: TIL) announced today changes to
its board of directors, with the appointment of Jack Matthews as a new
Independent Director effective from today. Mr Matthews is based in Australia
and has significant expertise in media and technology industries.
As part of the changes to the board Rich Frank has advised he will not seek
re-election as a director at the upcoming Annual Meeting on 23 September
2014.
Mr Matthews has an extensive background in the media, telecommunications and
technology industries. He was most recently with Fairfax Media as CEO of its
Metro Division where he was responsible for managing and integrating the
print, online and mobile assets of The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The
Canberra Times. Prior to that, he was CEO of Fairfax Digital, COO of Jupiter
TV (Japan) and CEO of TelstraSaturn based in Wellington.
Mr Matthews currently sits on the boards of Crown Fibre Holdings and Network
for Learning, both based in Auckland, as well as being Chair of Reqardle
Holdings based in Melbourne.
Trilogy Chairman, Geoff Ross, said that it was exciting to have someone with
Jack Matthew's commercial knowledge and network join the board. "Coming from
the media industry in Australia means Jack understands consumer behaviour
well, and has a significant network in this key market for us. We are looking
forward to his contribution to the continued growth of both the Ecoya and
Trilogy brands."
Mr Matthews said that he had been following the progress of the two brands
for some time, and was excited about the opportunity to work with an
entrepreneurial and growing business in the Asia-Pacific region.
Rich Frank advised that, after four years, he wished to rotate off the Board
of Trilogy at this time.
Geoff Ross said he wished to thank Mr Frank for his input to the board since
his appointment at the time of listing. "Rich has been a valuable member of
the board, a big contributor and a close friend of the business," he said.
Mr Frank remains the 4th largest shareholder in Trilogy and 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 and
Risk Management Committee. The committee will consist of Sarah Gibbs (as
Chair), Mandy Sigaloff and Jack Matthews.
Ends.
