Allison Yorston appointed director at AFT Pharmaceuticals

AFT Pharmaceuticals has announced the appointment of Allison Yorston as an independent non-executive director.

Yorston's appointment fills the vacancy left by Anita Baldauf, who retired from the board in August.

AFT Pharmaceuticals chairman, David Flacks, expressed delight in welcoming Yorston to the board, highlighting her experience as a senior marketing executive in Australia and New Zealand.

Yorston is currently the chief marketing officer for Suntory Beverage and Food Oceania.

The company said her expertise in senior marketing would be valuable as AFT Pharmaceuticals seeks to grow its position in Australasia and expand internationally.
