05 November 2019
Cardno Limited (ASX: CDD) (Cardno or the Company) advises that the Board has accepted the resignation of Mr Ian Ball, its Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, effective immediately. Mr Ball is succeeded by Ms Susan Reisbord.
Michael Alscher, Cardno’s Chairman, said, “The recent demerger of Intega Group Limited from Cardno means that Cardno is now smaller and less complex than the company Ian originally joined. As a result, Ian has decided to step down as CEO to allow him to pursue other opportunities. On behalf of the Board, I’d like to thank Ian for his contribution to Cardno during his time as CEO and I would like to wish him well in his future endeavours”.
Ms Reisbord has been appointed Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Cardno effective immediately.

At MWH she also served as the Director of Strategic Planning for the Americas Region and eventually launch leader for The Montgomery Group, a global business unit providing advisory services for both public and private sector clients.
