Harmoney appoints chair

Former chair Rob Campbell left in January, three days after founder and co-chief executive Neil Roberts resumed his directorship.

Flacks was initially appointed an independent director of the Harmoney board in May 2014.

He is a former corporate lawyer with more than 30 years of commercial, governance, and strategic experience. Flacks was a partner of Bell Gully from 1987 to 2014, except for four years in the 1990s as general counsel and company secretary of Carter Holt Harvey.

He currently chairs the NZX Markets Disciplinary Tribunal, is a director of Vero Insurance New Zealand, and is a member of the Takeovers Panel.
