Aristocrat Leisure Ltd. nominated Neil Chatfield as nonexecutive director, effective Dec. 12.
Chatfield's appointment to the board is subject to regulatory pre-approvals and will therefore be referred to as a director elect until then.
Aristocrat Leisure Chairman Ian Blackburne said the appointment is part of renewal and succession planning ahead of the retirement of longer-serving directors over the coming years.
Chatfield is the nonexecutive chairman of Costa Group Holdings Ltd. and Seek Ltd. and a nonexecutive director at Transurban Group. Previous roles include serving as Iron Mountain Inc. nonexecutive director and Toll Holdings Ltd. CFO and executive director.
