Edison continues to strengthen its position in New Zealand’s electricity sector.
To ensure we are future fit, Edison has expanded the Board, appointing two new Independent Directors at the 2023 AGM. We welcome Paul Evans and Samantha Sharif, who share our vision and values for creating an innovative, ethical, and inclusive company. Paul and Samantha have shown remarkable achievements in their respective fields and bring valuable insights and expertise to the governance team. View Paul and Samantha’s biographies.
Additionally, Bronwyn Smits was recognised and thanked for her invaluable service as an Independent Director. We wish her all the best as she retires from her role on the Edison Board.
The Board now consists of three Independent Directors and two Executive Directors, reflecting a balance and diversity of views and expertise vital for our future growth.
"The New Zealand electricity sector faces unprecedented change and growth opportunities. The Board's priority is supporting our team to serve our customers and their diverse communities even better, ensuring a safe, reliable, and sustainable electricity sector," said Edison Board Chair Craig Hattle, “Utilising our engineering expertise and reputation for delivering great results, we are embracing new challenges across our Design and Advisory solutions and core Project Management and Engineering services.
