NEW NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR – ILONA MEYER
Highly experienced general counsel with global healthcare and technology experience
Adelaide, Australia, 4[th] March 2022: Australian hi-tech company Micro-X Ltd (ASX:MX1) ( Micro-X or the Company ), a leader in cold cathode x-ray technology for health and security markets globally, is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms Ilona Meyer to its Board as a Non-Executive Director from 7[th] March 2022.
Ms Meyer brings a wealth of over 20 years’ experience as a senior executive in healthcare, agriculture and emerging technologies focusing on innovation and growth. Throughout her professional career across Australia and Asia, Ms Meyer has held multiple executive roles with private and public companies, including ASX-listed companies and dynamic high-growth start-ups, where she gained extensive experience in leading business transformation initiatives, managing complex stakeholders, influencing industry bodies, as well as navigating complex transactions and regulatory disputes.
Ms Meyer was a senior member of the ResMed Limited (ASX: RMD) operational leadership team from 2010 to 2016 in her role as Vice President and General Counsel (Asia Pacific). That period saw a great expansion for ResMed as it pioneered increased awareness of the sleep disorder breathing market, expanded its global network of distributors and direct sales force and changed its marketing approach based on consumer preferences and local reimbursement policies. An expansion of its manufacturing capabilities in Sydney, Singapore and Paris saw its revenues almost double to over US$1.8B. Ms Meyer contributed to each of these business initiatives, particularly with a focus on growth within the Asia Pacific markets. Her experience included expanding ResMed’s geographic presence into China, the resolution of a field safety notification throughout Asia and implementation of a dual-sourcing supplier strategy for its manufacturing operations.
Ms Meyer’s diverse experience in leading and managing high performance teams has enabled the delivery of accretive acquisitions and integrations in Australia, China, New Zealand and Singapore, supported go-to-market strategies and maximised global manufacturing and supplier efficiencies, all contributing to successful international growth and expansion.
Ms Meyer will also become a member of the Micro-X Audit & Risk Committee where her extensive legal and compliance skills and highly relevant domestic and international industry experience will be valuable to Micro-X as the business continues to expand in multiple markets with new products.
Currently, Ms Meyer is the General Counsel and Head of Legal & Compliance of the Boehringer Ingelheim Group for the Australian and New Zealand division. Ms Meyer’s role manages organisational risk and ensures compliance whilst delivering on the company’s objective of transforming lives of patients in areas of significant unmet medical need. Ms Meyer is also the Chair and Co-Chair of their ANZ Compliance and Crisis Management Committees, respectively.
Prior to Boehringer Ingelheim, Ms Meyer was employed as General Counsel and Group Company Secretary to ASX-listed Ruralco Holdings Limited which included responsibility for all legal and compliance functions including all board committees, as well as capital raising transactions and multiple acquisitions. She was also previously General Counsel to Medtronic, Inc. (ANZ) (NYSE:MDT) and Legal Counsel, Asia Pacific to 3M Australia (NYSE:MMM).
Ms Meyer is a qualified lawyer, holding both a Bachelor and Master of Laws from the Queensland University of Technology, and is also a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (GAICD).
Micro-X’s Chairman, David Knox, commented:
“I’m both excited and thrilled to welcome Ilona to the Micro-X Board and at her joining our Audit & Risk Committee as she brings a wealth of legal, regulatory and business experience to the Company. Aside from her legal expertise, Ilona is also well-versed in M&A, in high growth and start-up companies and in strategic management as well as industrial manufacturing operations. She will undoubtedly hit the ground running, bringing fresh eyes and insights to Micro-X as we expand into European and American markets.”
