Van Tang will take over from Al Monro, the current GM on Monday, February 17. Monro is moving to a new role as commercial manager for NZ.
Seeing herself as a ‘leader of culture’, Van Tang is making a move across the Tasman as GHD’s regional general manager – New Zealand/Pacific. Tang succeeds Al Monro who has taken up a new role as commercial manager, New Zealand.
Tang has led GHD’s operations in South Australia since 2014, doubling revenue and employee numbers while also diversifying the portfolio of clients.
She is passionate about building high-performing and diverse teams. She is a civil engineer with extensive experience in infrastructure, aviation and defence.
“The infrastructure challenges facing New Zealand – from water regulation to transportation and housing – put higher expectations on consultants to challenge current thinking and push the boundaries of what’s possible,” Tang said.
Employing more than 560 people across the country, GHD in New Zealand offers a wide range of engineering, architecture, environmental, advisory and digital services.
GHD’s Advisory arm recently provided vendor technical due diligence for the Napier Port IPO, while their architecture and interiors practice, GHDWoodhead creativespaces, has won awards for the Te Aka Mauri library and children’s health services hub in Rotorua, and the DDB New Zealand head office in Auckland.
The GHD New Zealand team also serves clients around the Pacific, including working with the government of the Cook Islands to upgrade Rarotonga’s water supply system, the largest single infrastructure project in the history of the Cook Islands.
