She currently serves as Chair of Christchurch International Airport and the Whitestone Cheese

next Annual Shareholder Meeting.
Ms Coutts said “I want to take this opportunity to thank Sally for the significant contribution she has

resident safety and care at the centre of every decision and notably has led the Sustainability
Committee through the development of Oceania’s comprehensive sustainability strategy.”
“These upcoming changes in Board composition reflect the commencement of the Board’s planned
refresh as part of its ongoing succession strategy” Ms Coutts said.
