Star Entertainment chairwoman Anne Ward attended 45 board meetings (of a possible 46) of the distressed casino operator in the 2024 financial year. It’s surely one of the busiest director schedules on the ASX. Necessitated by Star Entertainment being a dumpster fire (which might be unfair to dumpsters and/or fires).

Less known is that Ward is also chairwoman of the ASX-listed Articore Group, the ecommerce operator of Redbubble. She joined as a director in 2018.
