Rhipe announced some changes to the board construct of rhipe Limited. After a number of years since listing, the board construct has had some changes to ensure an appropriate structure is in place to complement the executive team and its focus on growth. Firstly, the company announced the appointment of Michael Tierney to the board, effective 27 January 2017. Mr. Tierney will replace Michael Everett, who has resigned due to other commitments. Mr. Tierney brings to the company over 30 years' experience in global financial markets, most recently as Managing Director and Head of Leverage Finance at Credit Suisse for the Asia Pacific region. At this time, Mike Hill considered it appropriate to move to become non-executive Chairman effective 31 January 2017. Mr. Hill had assumed an executive Chairman role from April 2014 to assist the company in its transition and support the management team during this period. With the appointment of Dominic O'Hanlon to CEO in August 2014 and his appointment to the board in June 2015 and of Mark McLellan as CFO in November 2016, the board believes it is an appropriate time to for the Chairman's role to be non-executive. Rhipe also announced that Maggie Niewidok has been appointed as Joint Company Secretary effective 31 January 2017. Ms. Niewidok has worked closely with the board since starting at rhipe in March 2015.
