Woodbois Limited has announced the appointment of David Rothschild as its new independent non-executive director with immediate effect.
The company highlighted that Rothschild brings a wide range of experience in growing businesses and improving performance as a senior manager and adviser.
In the last 20 years in the African resource and agricultural sectors, he was co-developer of a Liberian greenfield sustainable palm oil operation and an advisor on environmental and social action planning.
“His business experience on the ground in West Africa, including on ESG [environmental, social and corporate governance] matters, as well as his considerable business acumen, will no doubt be invaluable in helping us achieve our objectives,” said chief executive Paul Dolan.
Rothschild, meanwhile, added: "I am thrilled to become an independent member of the board and look forward to providing strategic and on-the-ground advice as we continue to grow quickly the activities and reach of the company."
