Board Appointments and Resignations
Transit technology company XTD (ASX:XTD) is continuing its evolution to best position itself for the Smart Cities environments of the future. The XTD Board has been working on restructuring the business to focus on the development of strong technology/software products that are consistent with clear market opportunities, including:
-
a suite of unique digital products that provide potential global opportunities for XTD and are now moving into a commercialisation stage.
-
an innovative solution to be effective in large urban precincts that combines the technology smarts of XTD and its technology division Contact Light that has the potential to be transported to international markets
-
continuing to develop our IBM relationship through their strong Australian Government links and international sales and marketing capabilities.
XTD is pleased to announce the appointment to the Board of Justus Wilde, Jason Byrne and Mark Niutta who bring substantial experience in commercialising technology and are well positioned to accelerate XTD’s ambitions.

Mark was an authorised representative and unit holder of Australia's largest retail broker for 13 years (now Morgan Stockbroking). Mark has formerly been a director of XTD Limited and was instrumental in the company’s ASX listing. As such he has extensive knowledge of XTD’s Cross Track Digital systems.
Current Board members Frank Hurley, Stuart Richardson and Quentin Gracanin have resigned to make way for the new Board members, effective Thursday November 1, 2018.
We look forward to the new team taking XTD’s strategic direction further and realising the business’ many opportunities.
