Mr Disher trained as a Chartered Accountant in Canada and enjoyed a successful career spanning over 37 years at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), which he joined in 1978 and where he was appointed as a Partner in 1991. He held a number of senior positions in PwC Canada where he was Chair of the Partnership Board, and Chair of each of the Finance Committee, Governance Committee and Admissions Committee of the Board. He was also Managing Partner of PwC's Ottawa office (2001 - 2008) and Ottawa Audit and Assurance Leader (1995 - 2001). His final role at PwC was Managing Partner of its Ukrainian practice between 2012 and 2015.

He also holds senior independent director positions, including Audit Committee Chair, at Lexington BioSciences Inc. (CSE: LNB) and Balmoral Resources Ltd. (TSX: BAR).

 

Toby Hall, CEO of MMX, commented:

 

"As today's final results illustrate, 2018 has been a transformational year for MMX in terms of registration growth and revenue composition, registrations up 37%, and renewal revenues nearly doubling to $9.4m now representing 62% of Group revenue.

 

"Moving forward, with an increasing emphasis on innovation, it is important that we have the right corporate governance structures in place to support our future development. Bryan will bring a fresh independent perspective and firm guidance to the Board having enjoyed an outstanding career at PwC. I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the Board, to welcome Bryan to the Company and look forward to working with him on the continuing success of MMX."
