Bombora Wave Power has made a number of changes to its board of directors including the appointment of Richard Beresford as a new chair.

Beresford has held senior corporate roles at Woodside (Australia), CLP Power (Hong Kong) and BG (UK & Indonesia). He currently holds non-executive directorships at Liquified Natural Gas and Eden Innovations.

Former chair, Tim Croot, remains on the board as an independent non-executive director.

Shawn Ryan, non-executive director and co-founder of Bombora 10 years ago, has retired from the board. Shawn was a member of the board for four years and served in both executive and non-executive roles during this time.

Furthermore, Glen Ryan, non-executive director, co-founder of Bombora and inventor of the concept of the mWave, also retired from the board this year.

Sam Leighton, chief executive officer of Bombora said, “The mWave is a very cleverly designed energy generating device and has the potential to become a leading source of renewable power. Glen and Shawn Ryan are to be congratulated for their incredible persistence and hard work to bring this invention to reality and we wish them well in their future endeavours.

“The appointment of Richard as chair expands the board’s skill set with specific renewable energy financial and technical experience, which will be highly beneficial for the commercialization process of Bombora’s mWave.”
