The Fiji Rakavi Football Union Limited (FRFU) has announced the co-option of Tony Ram as a non-voting Director of the FRFU Board, under provisions of the Union’s Articles of Association that allow the Board to co-opt individuals with specialist expertise.
FRFU Board Chair, John Sanday says the decision was driven by the Board’s current focus on strengthening financial and commercial capability.
Sanday says this year, the Board will be considering significant real property investments and related financing and debt structuring.
He says Ram’s background in banking and financial services is directly relevant to that work, and his appointment strengthens the Board’s overall capability in these areas.
Ram is currently General Manager Retail Banking at HFC Bank and a member of the Bank’s Executive Committee, with responsibility for deposits, lending, and insurance services.
His experience includes financial analysis, risk and credit management, business growth, customer service standards, marketing, and stakeholder engagement and he holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of the South Pacific and has completed professional development in governance, financial risk management, and corporate strategy.
Ram says he is pleased to support Fiji Rugby and appreciates the opportunity to contribute his experience in financial systems and long-term planning in support of strong governance and sustainable growth for Fiji Rugby.
Co-opted Directors serve in a non-voting capacity and are subject to endorsement at the next Annual General Meeting, in line with FRFU’s governance framework.
