Agriterra Limited announced the appointment of Ms. Amanda Thorburn as an additional independent non-executive director of the company with immediate effect. Ms. Thorburn, an associate chartered management accountant, has nearly 25 years' experience of working in Southern Africa across a variety of financial and advisory roles focussed on the telecoms and agribusiness sectors. Having begun her career as a management consultant with Coopers & Lybrand in Zimbabwe, Ms Thorburn has also worked for multinationals including MTN, Virgin Mobile and Econet, where she held the position of Head of Group Finance. The Board appointed Ms. Thorburn and believes that the company will benefit from her significant industry focused expertise and broader regional operating experience.
