We are delighted to have partnered with KiwiRail on the appointment of Andrew Norton as Chief People & Communications Officer following an extensive international executive search by Johnson Partners.
With the appointment of Peter Reidy as Chief Executive, KiwiRail and a refreshed Board is driving an accelerated business and cultural transformation program that will have as key cornerstones – “Customer and Growth”.
Andrew re-joins KiwiRail following a two-year secondment to the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet.
His deep and successful experience in leading such programs of scale and complexity across Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia means that the pan-business change program has already commenced and is developing strong momentum.
Andrew has held senior and executive roles with Downer in Australia, all three District Health Boards in Auckland and the Public Service Association (PSA). He brings an in-depth understanding of industrial relations, strong engagement skills with front-line engineering and customer service teams and experience in developing executive leadership in large organisations.
Many thanks to the KiwiRail Account Team – Simon Monks, Natalie Stones, Katie Mills and Wendy Sole.
