JANA has announced the appointment of two new leaders to its board as independent directors which include Margie Seale and Tracey Ah Hee.

Seale, who currently serves as a non-executive director of Westpac Banking Corporation and Scentre Group and has previously held non-executive director roles at Telstra and Bank of Queensland, brings a wealth of board experience from the corporate and financial services sector.

Before embarking on her board career, as managing director of publisher, Random House ANZ, Margie oversaw the company’s print-to-digital transformation in the ANZ market.

Tracey Ah Hee has three decades of experience in data and analytics, digital transformation and customer experience management and has worked across Australia and the US for organisations including Genroe and KPMG.

In addition to joining the JANA board, Ah Hee also serves as a non-executive director on the board of FinClear and is on the FCX Advisory Board, the firm said.

Chair of JANA, Fiona Dunn, welcomed the two new additions to the JANA board and said: “Between them, they are two of Australia’s most respected professionals in their disciplines and bring a unique range of knowledge and expertise to JANA.”

“JANA is committed to fostering diversity of thought, which has consistently underpinned decision-making, helped drive positive client outcomes and shape long-term sustainable growth.”

Seale and Ms. Ah Hee will begin their positions on September 7, 2023. They will be joining Fiona Dunn, who serves as the Chair and non-executive director, along with Jim Lamborn and John Coombe, both of whom hold executive director roles on the JANA Investment Advisers Pty Ltd Board.
