Home REIT appoints new non-exec

Home REIT has appointed Rod Day as an independent non-executive director. Day was chief financial officer at Iron Mountain in the US when it became a REIT, and has also held roles at AOL Europe and Kingfisher. Since 2017 he has been interim CFO and board member at companies including RWS, Cobham Group and V Ships, as well as acting as a senior adviser to Cerberus Capital. Day will join the audit, management engagement and nomination committees and will chair the audit committee at a later date. Michael O’Donnell, chair at Home REIT, said: “Rod joins the board with an impressive track record having led a number of businesses through highly complex situations. I believe the company will benefit from his deep insight and experience in finance in particular as we continue to progress the stabilisation strategy and audit process.”
