Data Source & Methodology

Designations are extracted from director biographies, short bios, and professional qualifications listed in NZX annual reports and company announcements. The classification is automated and synced regularly. Where a director holds multiple IoD designations, only the highest is recorded.

IoD designation data may not be complete for all directors. Some directors may hold IoD designations that are not mentioned in their publicly available biographies. Contact hello@nzxplorer.co.nz to report corrections.
