HEALTH, aged care and financial services industries veteran Sally Evans has been appointed to the Ingenia Communities board as an independent non-executive director.
Evans has experience across listed and private companies in New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and Australia, having held executive roles including head of retirement at AMP, investment director at AMP Capital and director at Westpac Institutional Bank.
Director roles have also included Opal Specialist Aged Care, Gateway Lifestyle and LifeCircle, and she is a non-executive director of Healius Limited, Oceania Healthcare, AllianzRetire+ and Rest.
Sally is a fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and a graduate of the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees, holds a MSc in Business Leadership from the Compass Group and a Bachelor of Applied Science from the University of Otego.
From 2012 to 2015, she was a member of the Australian government’s Aged Care Financing Authority, and is currently a member of the Aged Care Quality & Safety Commission Advisory Committee.
“Sally’s skills and experience in the areas of retirement and ageing, the delivery of digital solutions, customer experience, strategy and risk provide a strong background for her role as a director with the group,” Jim Hazel, chairman of Ingenia said.
“Sally’s appointment is part of the group’s planned board expansion and renewal as we extend the diversity, skills and expertise of the board in line with our growth.”
In September, Ingenia added Greg Hayes to its board, also as an independent non-executive director.
