Director nomination

Will Irving nominated as a Chorus Director

Chorus has announced that its Board unanimously supports the nomination of Will Irving to stand for election as an independent non-executive director at its 2022 annual shareholders’ meeting on 26 October.

Patrick Strange, Chorus’ chair, said the Board invited Mr. Irving to stand following an extensive search.

“Will brings more than 25 years’ experience in the telecommunications industry, including in areas such as strategy, wholesale telecoms, business customer sales and service.

“He’s also currently the Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer at NBN Co Limited in Australia, the company established to design, build and operate Australia’s wholesale broadband access network. The Chorus Board believe Will’s skills and experience will further complement and strengthen the Board’s existing skillset.”

Will said “I am pleased to have been nominated and thank the directors of the Chorus Board for their support. If elected by shareholders, I look forward to contributing my skills and experience to help Chorus operate its world class fibre network. The last few years have shown us the essential role that Chorus fulfills in providing the infrastructure to meet Aotearoa New Zealand’s growing data needs and underpin a sustainable digital future.”
