Retail giant Myer has announced the appointment of Paul McClintock as Non-Executive Director and Chairman-elect following Howard McDonald's decision to step down from the Board in October.

 

Mr McClintock brings considerable board and executive experience to the role, and will serve concurrently on the COAG Reform Council, as Chairman of Medibank Private and as Director of Perpetual Limited.

 

The Myer Board thanked Mr McDonald's six years of service on the board, three of which he served as Chairman.

 

"The entire Board and I are grateful for Howard's counsel and retail experience over the years and his commitment to management's execution of Myer's strategy," Myer's CEO Bernie Brookes said.

 

Myer has also announced the appointment of Ian Morrice as non-executive director, effective immediately.
