John and Michael Chow are directors of INNO Capital, a non-bank financier.

They have appointed Kerr as independent director and chairman of the board of an unnamed project.

“Roger brings with him vast experience in the financial services and funds management sectors to our team, and an independent level of governance," John Chow said.

“INNO Capital is a young, fast growing company that was established two years ago. At this stage in our development and in view of future plans, we see value in having a level of independent governance and a fresh perspective from someone who has no financial interest in the business and no bias."

Kerr has sat on the board of Financial Services Complaints Limited, Pie Funds Management Limited, Trust Investments Management Limited and the National Provident Fund. Until recently he was a partner of PwC New Zealand and now acts in a consultancy capacity for the PwC Treasury Advisor Services business unit.

“Roger’s experience and understanding of Board dynamics and processes coupled with his valuable knowledge of financial and investment decision-making ensure all stakeholders’ interests are well served," said Clint Webber, another INNO director.

Kerr 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.”
