Mr Malone has served on the NBN Co Limited Board since April 2016 and has a deep understanding of the company, as well as the telecommunications market. His reappointment commences from 20 April 2019.
Mr Malone’s reappointment will provide certainty to the NBN Co Board as the company completes the network rollout phase and transitions to a mature operating business.
His business acumen and experience in telecommunications services and infrastructure, including as founder and former CEO of internet provider iiNet, will continue to be a valuable asset for the Board.
The Shareholder Ministers congratulate Mr Malone on his reappointment and look forward to his ongoing contribution to the Board as it delivers fast, reliable broadband to all Australian homes and businesses by 2020.
