As KiwiRail’s transformation and growth program accelerates, Jason will be required to play a lead role, along with the Senior Leadership Team, to work closely with Chief Executive Peter Reidy to drive and hit key financial and operational metrics over the next 12-24 months.

Jason is a seasoned senior finance executive with almost 30 years’ experience principally in finance roles working across a diverse range of industries in agribusiness, fisheries, infrastructure (airports), steel, transportation/telematics and telecommunications. He has managed businesses working in a range of international jurisdictions, particularly Australia and the United States and has a strong understanding of international business and market dynamics.

He is an experienced listed company CFO who has held senior finance roles with three NZX listed companies; EROAD, PGG Wrightson and Auckland International Airport and was most recently the Chief Commercial & Financial Officer – New Zealand & Pacific Islands for New Zealand Steel, where he played a leading role in a similarly complex transformation program, including the Emissions Reduction Partnership announced with the New Zealand government.

Jason takes up his role with KiwiRail on October 2nd.
