FORMER chief financial officer of iSelect and IOOF, Mark Blackburn has been appointed as an independent non-executive director of Lifestyle Communities, and chair of the group’s audit committee.
Blackburn will stand for election at the next annual general meeting in 2020.
He is currently group chief financial officer of McMillan Shakespeare and has over 17 years of experience as a CFO in both listed and unlisted companies in the financial services, manufacturing, and mining services sectors.
