Brent Mealings has been appointed LIC’s new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and will start with the co-op later in the year.
Reporting to the Chief Executive, Brent will be responsible for business performance, financials, risk management, transformation office, secretariat and procurement.
LIC chief executive, David Chin, said “it is fantastic to have a CFO with Brent’s enthusiasm and background joining LIC. He brings a strong background in the dairy sector along with CFO experience in a NZX listed company.”
Brent comes to LIC from Metro Performance Glass where he has been Chief Financial Officer since 2020. Prior to this, Brent had a 17 year career at Fonterra Co-operative Group where he held a number of senior finance leadership roles. Born and bred in North Canterbury and an MBA graduate of Canterbury University, Brent has also worked within New Zealand and internationally in other industries including FMCG and mining.
The appointment follows the resignation of current CFO, David Hazlehurst, last year. David will finish at LIC in June.
