APPOINTMENT OF CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
The Directors of Experience Co Limited (“Experience Co” or “the Company”) (ASX: EXP) are pleased to announce the appointment of Owen Kemp as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Owen will join Experience Co in February 2019.
Owen has 18 years’ experience in the accounting and finance sector, most recently in CFO roles, following over 13 years with Ernst & Young’s corporate finance practice in Sydney and London.

CEO, Anthony Ritter said, “We are delighted to welcome Owen to the Experience Co team who brings extensive corporate finance expertise, relevant ASX listed company experience and leadership to the Group.”
