The addition highlights the firm's commitment to 50% gender diversity on its board
Maurice Blackburn has added leading media and marketing name Sunita Gloster to its board as a non-executive director.
The new director has worked for nearly three decades in professional services. She founded and is CEO of consulting firm Gloster Advisory, is a UN Women Australia advisor and co-chairs the Tech Council of Australia’s Marketing sub-community.
Gloster is on the panel of Gruen on ABCTV, and previously sat on the board of PwC Australia.
“Sunita brings to the board a strong background in business and in senior executive roles. Especially important to Maurice Blackburn is Sunita’s depth of experience in brand management and delivering a client-focussed culture,” Maurice Blackburn chair Steve Bracks said. “Sunita has a long history of being committed to the same values as Maurice Blackburn and she shares our vision of a fairer Australia.”
Gloster’s inclusion also highlights the firm’s commitment to 50% gender diversity in its board.
“It's important to me that Maurice Blackburn has a proud and long history of championing the rights of everyday Australians to fairness, justice and equity, not just to those that can afford it. I look forward to supporting the growth of such a purpose-led business,” Gloster said.
The Maurice Blackburn board includes principals Michelle James, Rebecca Gilsenan, Martin Hyde, Kim Shaw and Giri Sivaraman. Peter Day is the other non-executive director on the board, which is led by chair Steve Bracks.
