Non-Executive Director Changes
Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV, "Frontier", the "Group"),
a leading developer and publisher of video games based in
Cambridge, announces two Board changes.
After serving almost seven years on Frontier's Board, Charles
Cotton will retire from his role as Non-Executive Director on 1(st)
June 2023. During his time on the Board, Charles has drawn on his
extensive leadership, business and marketing experience to support
Frontier's transition to self-publishing through the successful
development of multiple game franchises.
Charles will be succeeded by Leslie-Ann Reed, who will join the
Board as an independent Non-Executive Director and Chair of the
Audit Committee on 1(st) June 2023.
Leslie-Ann has a wealth of expertise in senior financial
positions, having led commercial decision-making and planning,
financial reporting, risk & compliance, M&A and operational
activity in the UK and international markets. She also has a range
of experience in Non-Executive Director roles. Leslie-Ann is
therefore fully qualified to step into the role of Chair of the
Audit Committee.
Leslie-Ann's executive career includes seven years as Global CFO
of Metal Bulletin, the international metals publisher, where she
was responsible for finance, M&A, IT and investor relations.
Prior to that Leslie-Ann held a number of internal finance and
audit positions, including at Warner Inc and EMI Records, as well
as CFO of Polygram Film International.
Leslie-Ann is currently Non-Executive Director and Audit Chair
at Learning Technologies Group PLC, Bloomsbury Publishing PLC and
Centaur Media PLC.
Following the two changes effective 1(st) June 2023, the Board
will be comprised of five Non-Executive Directors and four
Executive Directors:
-- David Wilton - Non-Executive Director and Company Chair
-- Ilse Howling - Non-Executive Director and Remuneration Committee Chair
