Transpower’s CEO resigns

Transpower chief executive Alison Andrew is stepping down on June 30 this year.

 “After 10 years leading Transpower, Alison has decided that the time is right for her to step down as chief executive,” says Transpower board chair Dr Keith Turner.

“She will be taking a break before deciding on the next step in her career.

“The board would like to thank Alison for the significant contribution she has made to the organisation over the last decade,” says Turner.

“Alison was instrumental in evolving Transpower’s asset management journey and in establishing it as a thought leader on New Zealand’s energy future with the publication of Te Mauri Hiko and Whakamana i Te Mauri Hiko.”

Andrew says she’s “very proud” of what has been achieved.

“The organisation is in great shape, and I leave it in the hands of a highly capable leadership team who have the expertise, drive and care to lead it into the next stage.”

Transpower says it will begin recruitment for a new chief executive in due course and that acting chief executive arrangements will be announced shortly.
