Chairman Mark Booth said Ms Pak-Poy’s appointment is not only a reflection of the business but an investment in the long-term stewardship of Kain Lawyers.
“Despite the challenges of the recent pandemic, Kain has continued to grow as Australian mid-market transaction specialists. Since 2019, we have doubled the number and value of deals which we have transacted,” Mr Booth said.
“This is supported by the opening of an office in Sydney, a number of senior lateral hires and an 80 per cent increase in the size of our Adelaide and Sydney team.”
In addition to her directorships, Ms Pak-Poy has experience in executive and non-executive roles in capital markets and knowledge of growing companies and corporate governance. Mr Booth said her experience in venture capital, together with her non-executive experience, make her the “perfect fit for Kain’s board”.
Commenting on her new role, Ms Pak-Poy said: “I’m very excited to be joining the Kain board. The business has matured considerably in recent years and I’m eager to bring my skills, knowledge and experience to contribute to the next growth phase of the business.”
