Richard Goyder counts down the days at Woodside, Qantas and the AFL
The businessman faces a crucial vote at the oil and gas giant’s annual meeting. He’s already planning his exit from the highest-profile boards in the country.
Woodside Energy chairman Richard Goyder says he will serve his final term if re-elected at an annual meeting on Wednesday, as he prepares to step down from the chairmanship of Qantas and plans begin to succeed him at the AFL.
Goyder is largely expected to survive a protest vote against his re-election at the meeting in Perth. But the energy giant’s climate plan is also expected to be rejected by more than 50 per cent of shareholders in another personal blow to his leadership.
