Ferrier to head NZTE board

Former Fonterra chief executive Andrew Ferrier has been named the new chairman of the New Zealand Trade and Enterprise board.

Ferrier begins his three-year term commencing November. He replaces Jon Mayson.

Economic Development Minister Steven Joyce says Ferrier has a wealth of experience in international business and brings strong governance and strategic capability to the NZTE board. He is well placed to take up the role of chair of the board, he adds. Ferrier stepped down from Fonterra earlier this year after serving as CEO for eight years.

Joyce thanked Mayson for his valuable contribution to the operation of NZTE and for steering it through a period of significant change.
