Sandra Dodds to join Contact Board


Sandra Dodds will join the Board of Contact Energy (‘Contact’) as an independent director

on 1 September 2021. The Board has also appointed her as Chair of Contact’s Audit & Risk

Committee, replacing director Dame Therese Walsh who departs the Board at the end of

August 2021.


Ms Dodds is based in Melbourne and is a dual citizen of New Zealand and Australia. She

has more than 30 years’ experience as a senior leader in complex infrastructure businesses

in Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. She has held regional Chief Executive, Chief Financial

Officer, and operations roles. Ms Dodds has worked as a member of the group executive

teams in ASX listed environments at Downer EDI and Broadspectrum Ltd (formerly

Transfield Services). Until recently, she led the infrastructure sector team at Broadspectrum.


Ms Dodds is an experienced non-executive director, and is currently on the boards of Snowy

Hydro Limited, Beca Group, OceanaGold Corporation and MACA Limited (mining and

resources).


She holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Otago and is a fellow of Chartered

Accountants Australia and New Zealand.


Contact Chair Rob McDonald said the combination of Ms Dodds’ infrastructure experience

and financial expertise made her an exceptional appointment. “We are excited to welcome

Sandra Dodds to the Board. She brings an international infrastructure perspective, as well

as strong financial skills and governance experience, and we look forward to her contribution

to Contact.”


Ms Dodds will fill a casual vacancy on the Board from 1 September 2021 but will stand for

election by shareholders at the annual shareholder meeting in November.
