Aamir Aziz has been appointed as our new Board Fellow with effect from 1 November 2023 for a period of 12 months.
Aamir is currently Head of Technology, Digital & Data for the UK and EMEA at Frasers Property Limited, having previously worked at General Electric as Interim Chief Technology Officer in GE Transportation.
The Board Fellow programme aims to build a pipeline of diverse Board talent through inviting individuals to sit on the Board for a period of time in a voluntary capacity, experiencing boardroom discussions and receiving mentoring from non-executive directors. This is our second year of participation in the programme following the success of the first year.
Ed Smith, Non-Executive Chairman, commented: "Aamir brings considerable expertise and experience in the fields of technology and strategy development and we are excited about the valuable contribution that Aamir will make over the coming months.
"We believe the Board Fellow programme is important for the development of a pipeline of diverse Board talent and are pleased to have attracted someone of Aamir's calibre in our second year of participating."
