governance.” said John Chow, Director, INNO

Until recently Roger was a partner of PwC New Zealand and now acts in a consultancy capacity for the PwC Treasury Advisor Services business unit.

“Roger has witnessed changing market conditions throughout his career spanning 40 years and that in itself adds real grit and substance to our business. With global and domestic macro-economic insights and his ability to interpret and assess implications, Roger will play a key role in our next project.” he added.
Roger is known for implementing financial risk management frameworks and policies on the Boards he has been involved in. An in depth knowledge and understanding of banking, financial markets, investment, debt management, derivatives and fiduciary responsibilities are key to his appointment.
Commenting on his relationship with INNO Capital, Roger said,
“I look forward to adding a valuable contribution to the new project which is yet to be announced, by protecting and enhancing stakeholder interests. I believe that a good Board Chairman needs to embody solid common sense, strong levels of awareness and unwavering integrity.”
“My focus will be working closely with Directors, John and Michael Chow and Clint Webber to ensure the strategic direction and goals of the new venture are agreed, clearly understood and that the resources are in place to achieve those objectives. My background in financial services provides a good base for me to test and challenge management thinking in all aspects of the business.” he added.
