Qantas has announced two new board members, including a new Chairman, as part of its ongoing renewal.
John Mullen will join the Qantas Board from July 1, 2024, as Non-Executive Director and Chairman Elect and will assume the role of Chairman ahead of the company’s annual general meeting (AGM) this October.
Dr Nora Scheinkestel will also join the Board from March 1, 2024, as a Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Remuneration Committee.
Both Mullen and Dr Scheinkestel’s positions on the Board will be put to shareholders at the AGM. Mullen expects to reduce his existing professional commitments over time.
These new appointments follow the retirement of long-serving directors Maxine Brenner and Jacqueline Hey, who will step down after the company’s half year results and the retirement of current Chairman, Richard Goyder, prior to the AGM.
Announcing the changes, Goyder said: “Careful management of the board renewal process has been an important part of guiding Qantas through this intense period and the selection of a new Chair reflects a new chapter.
