Port Authority welcomes new Board Chair

Port Authority of New South Wales is pleased to announce the appointment of Board Director Justine Jarvinen as its new Chair.

Chief Executive Officer John McKenna said Ms Jarvinen's appointment comes at an important time for the organisation as it continues to deliver on its long-term vision under Strategy 2030.

"Ms Jarvinen, known as "JJ", has served on the Port Authority Board since April 2022 and brings a wealth of experience in governance, sustainability, infrastructure and strategic leadership,” Mr McKenna said.

"Her appointment as Chair reflects her strong contribution to Port Authority over recent years and I look forward to working closely with her as we continue to deliver safe, sustainable and efficient port and maritime services for New South Wales."

Mr McKenna also acknowledged outgoing Chair David Marchant AM for his significant contribution to the organisation.

"David's leadership, expertise and commitment have helped guide Port Authority through a period of significant progress.

"During his tenure, Port Authority strengthened its strategic direction, advanced major sustainability initiatives, supported strong operational and financial performance, and laid the foundations for the organisation's next phase of growth through Strategy 2030.

"On behalf of the organisation, I thank David for his outstanding service and contribution."

Ms Jarvinen's appointment marks the beginning of a new chapter for Port Authority as the organisation continues to support trade, tourism and maritime operations across New South Wales, while progressing its sustainability agenda.

Ms Jarvinen has held executive, advisory and governance roles with organisations including Exxon, Shell, Caltex, JBWere and AGL Energy, and is currently Principal of Finncorn Consulting and a Director of the UNSW Foundation.
