David Jones has announced the appointment of Freehills’ corporate and commercial partner Philippa Stone as a non-executive director. Stone’s experience in business and legal matters adds a complementary skills base to the existing David Jones Board, said chairman Bob Savage.

 

Stone specialises in corporate governance, equity capital markets and M&A. She is also a member of the ASX’s Listing Appeals Tribunal, a member of the Law Council of Australia’s Corporations Committee and a member of the International Air Services Commission.

 

It is intended that Stone will stand for election as director at the company’s AGM on 3 December 2010.
