New Zealand’s Earthquake Commission has appointed Toni Ferrier and Erica Seville as board members.

They replace former Vero NZ CEO Roger Bell and Gordon Smith, whose terms ended last month.

Ms Ferrier was most recently an executive with Crombie Lockwood, part of the Gallagher broking group. Before that she ran the Lumley Canterbury quake recovery business unit.

Ms Seville is an engineer and risk management expert who started social enterprise Resilient Organisations. She is also a principal investigator with research centre QuakeCoRE.
