Centuria announces Board changes
Centuria has announced the appointment of Natalie Collins to the Boards of Centuria Property Funds No. 2 Limited (CPF2L), Centuria Life Limited (CLL) and Over Fifty Guardian Friendly. Roger Dobson has also been announced as the new Chairman of CPF2L.
The appointments coincide with the reorganisation of several boards including:
- CPF2L is the Responsible Entity of Centuria Industrial REIT (ASX: CIP)
- Centuria Property Funds Limited (CPFL) is the Responsible Entity of Centuria Office REIT (ASX: COF).
Ms Collins is currently Head of Emerging Ventures and Co-Founder of Amatil X at Coca-Cola Amatil.
Centuria Capital Chairman, Garry Charny commented, “We welcome Natalie to the CPF2L, CLL, and Over Fifty Guardian Friendly Society Boards. She brings more than 20 years’ experience across a broad range of disciplines including supply chain, finance, disruptive business models and corporate venture capital. We look forward to the new and different perspectives she will bring. She is part of our long-term succession planning and will help future-proof these Boards.”
“The changes to the Boards of CPF2L and CPFL reflect the substantial growth in the business, particularly in the industrial and healthcare sectors. We felt it important and appropriate to now have those Boards led by separate Chairmen.”
John McBain, Centuria Joint CEO, said, “Centuria is a fast-growing company and Natalie’s skillset will greatly benefit the pace of this growth. We warmly welcome Natalie to these Boards.”
