New Zealand On Air has appointed Cameron Harland to lead the public media agency.
Harland is an experienced leader in the screen, sports and marketing sectors. He is chief executive of CriqHQ, a global fan engagement platform for cricket, and was previously chief executive of Park Road Post Production.
He is a director of Weta Workshop and Te Papa Tongarewa and has served on both the NZ Film Commission and TVNZ boards. He has stepped down from the TVNZ board to take up the NZ On Air role.
NZ On Air chair Dr Ruth Harley said the agency was thrilled to be welcoming Harland to the NZ On Air whānau.
“Cameron stood out as an experienced chief executive who has established positive relationships with many of our key stakeholders. Cameron is equally at home with commercial and public sector entities and he brings strong cultural perspectives combined with sharp audience focus.”
Harland said it was is an extremely exciting and challenging time to be joining the agency.
“With a renewed focus on public media and the challenges faced by our local platforms, production and music sectors, we have an opportunity to collaborate on long-term positive impacts for New Zealand audiences.”
Harland succeeds Jane Wrightson who left NZ on Air at the end of January after 12 years, to become the new Retirement Commissioner.
