Mail Man Has Role in US

Former New Zealand Post CEO and Royal Mail executive deputy chairman Elmar Toime has been appointed to American online postal service Earth Class Mail Corporation’s board of advisors. Toime – who also led the establishment of full-service retail bank, Kiwibank Ltd., as a subsidiary of New Zealand Post – is currently an independent advisor to the postal sector, and brings to Earth Class Mail a track record of innovation in mail-services diversification and national-post management. CEO of Earth Class Mail Ron Wiener said: “Very few executives within the postal industry are afforded the global recognition and respect that Mr Toime is.” “Earth Class Mail shows a new and original future for an industry that has had a tradition of innovation,” said Toime, “from invention of the humble postage stamp to the creation of telecommunications infrastructure.”
