Hobson Leavy is pleased to announce the appointment of Paul Blair as Chief Executive of Infrastructure New Zealand.
Paul is a seasoned senior banking executive with over 24 years’ experience. For the past decade he has managed large institutional clients within the infrastructure sector both in Australia and New Zealand.
Infrastructure New Zealand Chair Andrew Stevens announced that former BNZ General Manager of Institutional Banking Paul Blair will take over as Chief Executive of Infrastructure New Zealand following the Building Nations Symposium to be held in Rotorua on the 21-23 August. “I’m very pleased to announce that Paul Blair, a former board member of Infrastructure NZ and BNZ executive, will move into the role. Paul’s obvious passion for infrastructure and depth of business experience across New Zealand, Australia and UK will ensure the organisation continues to grow and develop in response to New Zealand’s infrastructure needs,” Stevens says.
