Executive team changes




Kiwi Property has today announced a new streamlined executive team structure to align

more strongly the business to growth opportunities and position better the business for

continued success.


Chair, Mark Ford, said: “These changes represent a significant step toward streamlining our

business in a way that will greatly enhance our ability to grow revenue, while continuing to

focus our teams on creating the spaces that Kiwis love.”


The new executive team structure has been designed to:

• evolve the company’s core strategy to create mixed-use communities where we can

derive the combined economic benefits from synergistic mixed uses, such as office,

retail, hotels, civic, entertainment, dining, residential, medical etc.

• provide dedicated property investment and funds management resources to drive

our mixed-use focus and further leverage our property platform into third party asset

management opportunities

• drive rental income growth from the existing property portfolio

• increase collaboration across the property asset classes and teams, and

• seek operational efficiencies


“This represents the continued evolution of Kiwi Property’s investment strategy, establishing

clear paths and accountabilities for growth and business focus,” said Mr Ford.


Chief Executive Officer, Clive Mackenzie, said: “The Company’s strategy has been gradually

evolving beyond standalone office and retail property ownership to a more diversified

investment approach.”


“The organisational re-alignment further cements our strategic evolution to more

purposefully focus our business on extracting value from a mixed-use property approach,

and by building additional income streams, such as from funds management and third-

party asset management.”


The new executive team structure comprises the Chief Executive Officer and the following

roles:


• GM Asset Management

Linda Trainer, formerly GM Retail, will lead collaboration across the asset classes,

bringing to the role more than 20 years of property, management and marketing

experience.

programmes across our entire property portfolio, bringing circa 30 years of project,

design, construction and development experience to the role.


• GM Finance and Shared Services

An executive search is underway to fill this newly created role.


• GM Funds Management and Capital Markets

Gavin Parker, formerly Chief Operating Officer, is responsible for establishing a

property funds management business within Kiwi Property. He is well known to the

New Zealand property sector and brings to the role more than 20 years' experience in

property investment, funds management, capital management and investor relations.


• GM Income and Leasing

Aubrey Cheng, formerly Manager Retail Leasing, has more than 18 years of property

experience and will drive all property-related income, including leasing, space

optimisation, advertising and more. He is also responsible for developing and

maintaining tenant relationships.


• GM People and Communications

Kylie Eagle, formerly head of People and Culture, will lead our people and

communications strategies and has been an integral member of Kiwi Property’s

leadership team since 2011. She brings to her new role extensive experience in human

resources, organisational transformation and communications.


• GM Property Investment

Michael Holloway, formerly GM Commercial, will be responsible for all forms of

property investment at Kiwi Property and brings to this role more than 23 years'

experience in property and asset management.


David Greenwood, Jason Happy, Shelley Jenkin, Natasha Loulanting and Trevor Wairepo,

will continue to support the business in their roles.


After progressing through the business in several roles over 13 years, Stuart Tabuteau has

decided to pursue new opportunities and will remain in the role of Chief Financial Officer

until the end of June 2019.

Mr Mackenzie said: “Stuart has been instrumental in shaping our finance team and investor

reporting, and has assisted the business on many of its major capital markets and corporate

initiatives, including the company’s internalisation and corporatisation events. I take this

opportunity to thank Stuart for his 13 years at Kiwi Property and wish him every success in his

future endeavours.”
