Fonterra's newest board member Ashley Waugh is looking forward to "quickly becoming a productive member of the board".

Waugh, a former National Foods chief executive, was elected by farmers this week; he replaces Taranaki's Blue Read, who failed in his re-election bid.

Waugh told Dairy News online that he was happy with the result.

"I put in a lot of effort in running my campaign and talking and listening to farmers," he says.

Waugh says his first aim was to get on the board.

"I have achieved that and the second aim is to quickly assimilate and become a productive member of the board."

Waugh farms in Te Awamutu, outside Hamilton.
