Pāmu chief executive Mark Leslie has named Will Burrett as its new chief operating officer.
Most recently, Burrett has held the role of general manager farming and forestry for Ngāi Tahu Farming.
Pāmu chief executive Mark Leslie said: “With a background in rural finance, commercial project management, hands-on farming – blended with an interest in data analysis and high-performance business, Will has drawn on the last 17 years’ professional experience to navigate Ngāi Tahu Farming through a period of genuine transformation. We believe it is this experience that makes him ideal for the [COO] role.
“We are excited to welcome Will to the Pāmu whānau, where he will be responsible for developing and executing the strategy for the company’s pastoral farming business, including identifying areas for further investment as well as portfolio optimisation and operational excellence …
“A pivotal aspect of the new role will also fundamentally change how the pastoral farming business at Pāmu interfaces with the environment. The role will be expected to embrace the sustainability component of the Pāmu strategy and make it a core part of our pastoral farming system,” Leslie said.
Burrett said he was looking forward to joining the Pāmu team: “I’m honoured to have the opportunity to work with a great team and portfolio of assets across Aotearoa. I remain incredibly positive about pastoral agriculture’s place to sustainably produce nutrition and fibre to enrich future generations … I look forward to rolling up the sleeves alongside the team in June.”
Burrett begins his role at Pāmu on Monday June 26.
