BOARD APPOINTMENTS
Imperial Brands PLC is pleased to announce that Ngozi Edozien
and Diane de Saint Victor will join the Board as Non-Executive
Directors, with effect from 15 November 2021.
Ngozi brings to the Board over 30 years' experience in general
management, finance, consultancy, and business development gained
at multinational companies in Europe, USA and Africa.
She has considerable experience of consumer goods, having spent
six years on the Board of PZ Cussons and four years on the Board of
Vlisco PLC, and is currently a Non-Executive Director on the Board
of Guinness Nigeria, a listed subsidiary of Diageo.
The Board will benefit from Ngozi's significant experience of
delivering transformation across a range of industries and
geographies. During a nine-year career with Pfizer Inc., she led
strategy and planning for Pharmaceuticals, based in New York,
before taking up a Regional Director role in Africa. Prior to
Pfizer, she spent five years with McKinsey, working mainly in the
consumer goods and pharmaceuticals sectors.
She gained strong commercial experience over five years with
Actis, the Africa-focused private equity business, where she
originated and led deals in West Africa.
Ngozi is the Founder and Managing Director of Invivo Partners
Limited, a Nigerian VC Firm. In addition to her membership of the
Board of Guinness Nigeria, she is a current Non-Executive Director
of Stanbic IBTC Holdings PLC and of Barloworld Ltd.
Diane will bring strong legal, regulatory and ESG experience,
having held a number of General Counsel and other key roles in an
international career spanning more than 30 years.
Her 13-year tenure as General Counsel & Company Secretary
for ABB, the global technology company based in Switzerland and her
General Counsel role at Airbus before that are reinforced by her
prior listed UK Board experience as a Non-Executive Director at
Barclays plc.
Diane has experience of transforming organisations in sectors
undergoing change, most notably at ABB where she was an Executive
Committee member.
Diane also brings a wealth of regulatory and government
relations experience, having served as Vice President Government
Relations, Europe at Honeywell International Inc. and as part of
the US Government Relations Team in Washington for General Electric
Company.
Diane is currently a Non-Executive Director at Transocean Ltd,
an international oil drilling business, and is also a Non-Executive
Director of Natixis S.A., the French financial services firm.
Chair Thérèse Esperdy said: "I am delighted to welcome both
Ngozi and Diane to the Board. They will bring considerable
international experience across our developed and developing
markets.
"Ngozi's unique background spanning business development,
consulting and private equity brings a strong value creation
mindset to the Board and her brand and consumer experience as both
an executive and director are highly relevant.
"In addition to Diane's formidable international background in
legal, compliance, governance and sustainability matters, her
significant experience in government and regulatory affairs in our
key markets and her strong credentials in technology, innovation
and IP will complement our existing Board skills.
"These appointments reflect our continued drive to enhance our
Board capabilities to bring insight and experience from relevant
markets and sectors, whilst focusing on all aspects of diversity to
ensure we have the best possible mix of skills, experience and
perspective to drive the business forward."
Committee memberships will be confirmed at a later date.
This announcement is made in accordance with LR 9.6.11.
