NZTech Update – Growing alliances, diversity and connections
Hi Readers
The technology sector in New Zealand continues to grow rapidly and is a key enabler and accelerator on all fronts for the rest of the economy. I am very fortunate to be part of it and humbled by the latest opportunity to make a difference. First and foremost, our Deputy Chair Rachel Kelly and I would like to acknowledge the hard work and successes contributed by the previous Chair of NZTech, Bennett Medary. In our new roles, we are fortunate to inherit a top-performing team of board members, CEO Graeme Muller, advisors and staff.
Today, NZTech and our partners are a rapidly growing alliance representing over 400 organisations across the sector. Certainly, there is much to celebrate as plenty has been achieved by and for our sector, however it is only the tip of the iceberg. There is still room for us to achieve much more together, including;
Collectively, our board and our members see these areas of challenge and opportunities as important to our sector as well as the economy of New Zealand as a whole. As a growing community, NZTech is well positioned to continue working on these areas, together with our members, partners, sector and the rest of the country. In our new chairing roles, Rachel and I are both proud and excited to be working closely with Graeme, to build on, lead and energise the organisation forward across all areas of engagement.
Sincerely,
Mitchell Pham
Chair of NZTech
