Air New Zealand updates on Executive Appointments
Air New Zealand has today announced that Kate Boyer has been appointed to the role of Chief
Operations Officer, Ground and Inflight, replacing Alex Marren who retires from the role of Chief
Operations Officer at the end of March.
Kate joined the airline in August 2022 as the Head of Commercial Strategy. In November
2023, she was appointed the General Manager of Airports, running the airline’s domestic
airport operations. Since taking over the General Manager role, Kate has led a significant
performance turnaround of the airline’s operations. She is also the President of the Board of
Airline Representatives New Zealand Executive Committee. Raised in Canterbury, Kate has a
BA from Princeton and in late 2025 won the Deloitte Young Executive award.
In addition, from late March Mike Williams will move to a newly created role of Chief Operations
Officer, Technical Operations with responsibility for the airline’s engineering, maintenance and
supply chain functions. Mike has been in the Executive team since 2022 as the Chief
Transformation and Alliances Officer. He will continue to lead the airline’s Alliances function.
Chief Executive Officer Nikhil Ravishankar notes the significant impact Kate Boyer has had in
the airline since joining. “Kate has run an impressive two-year transformation programme to
turn around the airport portfolio, lifting operational and customer performance and
strengthening culture and safety. Her earlier time leading the commercial strategy for our
Tasman and Domestic networks was equally impressive. She is a fantastic addition to the
Executive Team, and I look forward to her continued leadership.
“I would also like to acknowledge Mike Williams for assuming responsibility for the airline’s
engineering, maintenance and supply chain functions – a critical part of our business. Mike’s
experience and leadership will strengthen our ability to deliver on our operational and strategic
priorities”, said Mr Ravishankar.
These appointments will both come into effect on 30 March 2026.
This announcement is made pursuant to Listing Rule 3.20.1.
Ends.
