Spark New Zealand announces resignation of Ido Leffler from Spark
Board
Spark New Zealand Chair Justine Smyth announced today that after six years as a
Director of Spark New Zealand, Ido Leffler has decided to step down from the Spark Board,
effective from the close of Spark’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders on 6 November 2020.
Ido has been a Director on the Spark Board since 2014 and currently sits on the Human
Resources and Compensation Committee and the Nominations and Corporate
Governance Committee.
“Ido has made a huge contribution to Spark’s Board and has been a crucial part of the
team as the business transformed from a legacy telco to New Zealand’s largest digital
services provider. He has brought a fresh perspective to many of our discussions, with his
deep understanding of digital business models and how to use digital channels in creative
ways, and we will miss his insight and his humour,” said Justine.
Justine said the Spark Board has an ongoing succession programme, and she would be
working with her fellow directors to consider the relevant skills and experience required
for the Spark Board to support the business in delivering on its 3-year strategy to 2023.
