JANA welcomes two non-exec board directors
JANA has appointed Margie Seale and Tracey Ah Hee as non-executive directors to its board.
Seale holds more than 30 years of experience in senior executive roles both in Australia and globally. She currently serves as a non-executive director of Westpac and Scentre Group.
Previously, Seale held non-executive director roles at Telstra and Bank of Queensland.
Ah Hee also brings more than three decades’ experience across business strategy, digital transformation and customer experience management to her new position.
She serves as a non-executive director on the board of FinClear and is also on the FCX Advisory Board. Prior to these roles, Ah Hee worked both in Australia and the US at firms such as CoreLogic International, KPMG and PwC Australia.
Both independent directors began their positions on 7 September and joined Fiona Dunn, a JANA non-executive director and chair, alongside Jim Lamborn and John Coombe who hold executive director roles on the JANA Investment Advisers board.
“We are delighted to announce the appointments of Margie Seale and Tracy Ah Hee to our board of directors. Between them, they are two of Australia’s most respected professionals in their disciplines and bring a unique range of knowledge and expertise to JANA,” Dunn commented.
“Their addition to the board strengthens our position as we continue to support clients in managing risk and attaining strong, sustainable investment outcomes.”
She added that Seale’s appointment will be crucial as JANA looks to help clients increase their competitive edge and navigate complex investment landscapes.
Moreover, Ah Hee will be pivotal in supporting the firm’s ongoing digital transformation program to optimise client performance.
Commenting on her new role, Seale said: “I am very pleased to be joining the esteemed JANA board, and applying my experience across industries and governance frameworks to support JANA in its mission to make a positive difference to the lives of Australians.”
Ah Hee said: “Rapid technology innovations, increasing focus on data security and more sophisticated customer demands have made it very complex for companies to achieve profitable growth.
“I am looking forward to applying my expertise in data, analytics, digital and customer transformation to JANA and our clients.”
