Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Announces New Future Director Appointment


Auckland, New Zealand, 5 October 2023 – Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited announced

today that it has selected Charlotte Walshe to participate in the Future Directors programme, with effect

from 1 January 2024.


Ms Walshe has more than 20 years of experience across a range of sectors. This includes regulated

global markets (healthcare, finance), high-tech manufacturing, export, technology and research institutes.

Ms Walshe has also held chief executive roles with Jade Software Corporation and medical device

manufacturer and health informatics provider Dynamic Controls, and she has been a director and trustee

of a number of government organisations, private companies and research institutions.


She received a master of science in physics from the University of Canterbury, a bachelor of science

(BSc) majoring in physics and mathematics, also from the University of Canterbury, and an

Entrepreneurship Development Programme certificate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.


Future Directors is an initiative of the Institute of Directors aimed at giving talented executives exposure

to a company board to gain governance skills and experience for a 12-to-18-month period. Future

Directors attend board meetings to observe and participate in discussions, but they do not have voting

rights.


"Charlotte’s experience and dynamism will be valuable assets," said Scott St John, Board Chair. "She

has demonstrated leadership and expertise in both public and private sectors in R&D and highly

regulated environments. I'm pleased to have the opportunity to work with her."


Ms Walshe said, “Fisher & Paykel Healthcare is an inspiring high-tech medical device company with

global presence and recognition. I’m excited to learn from the Board, grow my governance skills and

share my own insights.”


Fisher & Paykel Healthcare’s current Future Director, Tracey Barron, is completing her term with the

company on 1 December 2023.


"We want to thank Ms Barron for her contribution to the Board, and we wish her all the best for the

future,” said Mr St John.


Mr St John commended the Future Directors programme as a mutually beneficial initiative. "It allows the

Board to benefit from new perspectives while giving the emerging directors an opportunity to develop

their governance competencies. We are delighted to keep supporting it."
