Fonterra chairman Peter McBride says Leonie Guiney has made a significant leadership contribution to the co-op.

"While stepping down as a director, Leonie will remain a passionate and highly valued member of our co-op,” he says.

“A hard-working director, over the years she has chaired our safety and risk committee and been a member of the audit, finance and risk; co-operative relations; and people, culture and safety committees.

“She has also been a member of the milk price panel and served on the capital structure committee and divestment review committee.

“Always generous with her time and energy, Leonie made a personal sacrifice to give back to the co-op that she loves. We cannot thank her enough. I know Kieran and the family will be glad to get that time back, but I’m sure Leonie’s leadership qualities will not be lost to our industry,’’ says McBride.
