Billabong appoints Kim Anderson to its board of directors

Billabong International has appointed Kim Anderson to its board of directors effective from December 9, 2016. She is currently a non-executive director for Carsales.com.au and WPPAUNZ (formed this year from the merger of STW Group and WPP).

On her appointment, Billabong’s Chair, Ian Pollard, said in the announcement, “Anderson brings extensive experience in the digital and e-commerce sectors and in the media and publishing industries, which will be valuable given the company’s OMNI and other projects. She also has experience as a board member of both listed and unlisted companies.”

Anderson also chairs the remuneration committee of both companies and up until early this year was chief executive officer of Reading Room. She will take over from Howard Mowlem as Chair of the company’s human resources and remuneration committee from the date of her appointment.
