Who controls NZX companies — ownership, board interlocks, influence networks
Directors serving on 4+ NZX boards (potential time commitment concerns)
Directors with roles spanning NZX, charities, councils, iwi, and public sector
Board overlap data is derived from NZX director appointment records. A "pair" appears when two directors served simultaneously on two or more NZX-listed company boards with at least one month of overlapping tenure at each company.
Overlap years indicate the combined time two directors served together across all shared boards. These connections may reflect professional networks, shared governance experience, or common industry backgrounds. The presence of a connection does not imply any governance concern — it is one factor among many in board composition analysis.
