I hate to be that cynic. What can he actually do as a none executive director? He has a voice yes, but no power to do anything (hence none exec) or force anything through, other than persuasion.
Not sure how their Constitution works but I feel he's going to end up feeling somewhat frustrated after a short time.
I sincerely wish that wasn't the case, because it needs to be dealt with after all the shenanigans recently.
