NZX board announces director appointment
The NZX board announces the appointment of Elaine Campbell as a director.
NZX Chair James Miller commented: "Elaine brings to the board a deep understanding of NZX,
the regulatory settings in New Zealand’s capital markets, and a passion for the critical role an
exchange plays within the economy. Elaine comes with a big reputation and we are delighted to
secure her appointment to the board.”
“Elaine understands NZX’s need to focus on our core business and operate it effectively, she is
highly focused on delivering shareholder returns. Elaine’s deep legal capital markets experience
will also be invaluable to implement the recommendations from Capital Markets 2029.”
In addition to the above, Elaine has strong funds management and listed company experience
from her time as General Counsel for AMP Financial Services and her current role as General
Counsel & Company Secretary of NZX listed issuer Chorus.
Elaine Campbell commented: “I welcome the opportunity to return to NZX as an independent
non-executive director, and to be able to guide the shaping of New Zealand’s capital markets
which are vital to New Zealand’s economic growth and development."
Elaine’s appointment is effective, 18 February 2019. In accordance with the exchange’s listing
rules, Elaine will retire and offer herself for election by shareholders at the company's annual
meeting in Dunedin on Friday 5 April 2019.
As required by listing rule 2.6.2 the board has determined that Elaine is an independent director.
Elaine’s appointment follows the retirement of Dr Patrick Strange from the board last year.
