The New Zealand Airports Association (NZ Airports) has announced the appointment of Billie Moore as its new chief executive.
Moore brings extensive government and stakeholder management experience, having been a former diplomat and working in a number of Ministries. Moore served as New Zealand’s Consul-General to New South Wales and Queensland for four years, before returning to Wellington in 2019 to lead government relations for Tourism New Zealand, including joining TNZ’s executive team during the response to Covid-19.
Most recently, Moore has been in the role of chief adviser at the Ministry for the Environment, working with the chief executive and executive team across the Ministry’s engagement and key relationships.
NZ Airports chair Malcolm Johns said: “We are excited to have someone with Billie’s background and experience to lead the association moving forward. Airports play a critical role in the prosperity and wellbeing of New Zealand communities, so ensuring a strong and sustainable sector is very important.”
Moore takes over from retiring chief executive Kevin Ward, whose long service and achievements were celebrated at the association’s annual Hui in September.
