Global advisory and fund administration firm Maitland has appointed David Hathorn, until recently the CEO of FTSE 100 packaging and paper giant Mondi, to the firm’s board as a non-executive director.

 
Hathorn (pictured) will also act as chairman of the audit and risk committee of Maitland International Holdings.
 
The appointment comes amid a period of growth for Maitland, which recently expanded its reach to 17 offices globally. It follows the 2015 non-executive director appointment of Maureen Erasmus, an advisory partner at global management consultancy Bain & Company.
 
Hathorn career spans some 30 years, 25 of which were with Mondi. He served as CEO of Mondi for 17 years until May 2017. During this period he was instrumental in Mondi’s international expansion and led the group through a demerger from Anglo American in 2007.
 
Until 2007 Hathorn was a member of the Anglo American executive committee from 2003 and was an executive director of Anglo American from 2005, serving on the boards of a number of Anglo group companies.
 
Based in South Africa, he is also the chairman of Kore Potash, an ASX listed company.
 
Michael Solomon, Maitland chairman, says: “We are privileged to welcome someone of such calibre and experience to our board. We have had a professional working relationship with David for more than 20 years. He brings to the boardroom not only significant corporate leadership experience but also more intimate insights into the firm from a client perspective.”
 
Hathorn adds: “Maitland is a fast-growing and dynamic organisation with a unique business model across private client, fund and corporate services. I am proud to serve on the board of a business which is at the forefront globally across its various business areas.”
