Mr Oddie is a chartered accountant with more than 30 years’ experience in senior executive finance, commercial and operational management, gained across the agribusiness, construction, community services, financial services and logistics sectors both in Australia and overseas.
Most recently he has occupied CFO and company secretary roles with Regional Livestock Exchanges, Li-Ve Tasmania, and Spectran Group, where he shaped business growth and successfully managed company transformation and change.
“It was vital for Forico to secure a talented and capable individual who can add value in a dynamic business environment and Chris emerged as a clear stand-out,” said Forico CEO Evangelista Albertini.
“Chris’s wealth of experience in CFO and executive roles positions him optimally to continue Forico’s work in placing financial management front and centre in sustainable decision making and maintaining the leadership role we have forged in this.
“The approach of mandatory nature-based reporting sees increasing demands placed on finance and accounting capacity in businesses worldwide. Forico has carved a leadership niche in this new reporting landscape, and we have no doubt Chris will enable us to achieve our vision of forestry as the industry at the centre of a sustainable future.”
