Kate Bowman (pictured) has been appointed as executive director of legal, risk and compliance at Indara. In her new role, she will act as a conduit within the business to deliver best practice frameworks for mitigating risk, managing workplace health and safety, regulatory and compliance programs, and sustainable business practices ensuring Indara meets its environmental, social and governance (ESG) obligations and commitments, which are all critical to Indara’s business and reputation in the market as it continues to grow.

Ms Bowman brings over two decades of experience to the role, Indara said in a statement, including having been chief corporate services officer, group general counsel and company secretary at Pacific National, as well as senior legal counsel at Patrick and deputy GC at Asciano.

Speaking about the appointment, Indara chief executive Cameron Evans said that the company is “focused on being Australia’s leading digital infrastructure provider, and to do that, we need to hire the right people to lead the business forward”.

“Kate’s extensive experience in the logistics and infrastructure industry is complementary to Indara’s growth plan, and we are thrilled to welcome her to the executive leadership team,” he said.

“Connecting Australian communities is a goal that’s deeply embedded in the organisation, and Indara’s community-centric approach is propelling this even further. We are keen to tap into Kate’s wealth of experience across legal and compliance to help us drive the organisation forward.”

Ms Bowman added: “Telecommunications and connectivity are critical parts of our lives — and this is only becoming more important as the use of data grows. Indara is leading the way as an independent provider of critical infrastructure and has an ambitious growth plan. I’m excited to join the team at such a pivotal time.”
