Ross has extensive experience in the agri-finance sector. He is currently Chief Executive
of Syndex Limited, an early stage, innovative capital markets business, and previously
worked for 16 years in ANZ Bank, including most recently 5 years as a General Manager,
Commercial and Agri.

Partnership, a dairy farming syndicate. He was also previously a Trustee of Agri-Womens
Development Trust.
In addition, Ross is currently Chairman of the New Zealand Cricket Players Association
Board.
His qualifications include a Bachelor of Commerce and Administration and
Chartered Accountant – Chartered Accountants of Australia and New Zealand.
The Board has determined that Ross is an independent director. Ross will stand for election
at the 2019 Annual Meeting, with the full endorsement of the Board.
Andrew McDouall
Andrew McDouall has advised that he intends to retire as a director at the conclusion of the
26 November 2019 Annual Meeting.
Andrew is ALF’s longest serving director, having been appointed in 1999, and feels that the
time is now right to stand down given the recent strengthening of the Board with the
appointments of Marise James, Richard Perry and Ross Verry.
Chairman Mark Benseman said “On behalf of the Board I thank Andrew for his significant
contribution over many years, and for his input and direction during some difficult times.
Andrew’s contribution cannot be underestimated. He has been able to bring valuable
insights and creative solutions to challenging issues with his institutional and financial
knowledge. We wish him all the best”
