SIR HENRY
VAN DER HEYDEN
Chairman
CHRIS JOBLIN
Chief Executive Officer
Whakahou I Ngaa Whakahaere
Governance Renewal
In mid-August 2015, Chris Joblin was appointed as
CEO after an extensive six month search process.
Tribal leaders, key managers and TGH Board members
all provided detailed input to the criteria used to
select the new CEO and Chris Joblin emerged as the
preferred candidate.
During the year, governance of TGH was refreshed.
In May 2015, Tukoroirangi Morgan took on the
director role previously held by Paki Rawiri as one
of the two tribal representatives on the board
of TGH. While Joanna Perry, the advisor to the
board also stepped down. We thank Paki and
Joanna for their dedicated service. In mid-
November Tania Simpson was appointed to the
TGH Board by Te Kauhanganui Incorporated
bringing more than 20 years governance
experience in government, iwi and private
sector entities to the TGH Board.
Many people and organisations have helped TGH
to be successful this year. We saw Tracey Hook
move on to an exciting new senior role with Te
Wananga o Aotearoa, we sincerely thank her for 14
years of dedicated service. Thank you to all kaimahi
at TGH and our partners for helping grow the assets
of Waikato-Tainui for this generation and the next.
Collaboratively with the Waikato Raupatu
Lands Trust team, we created or identified just
over 100 employment opportunities for tribal
members during the 2016 year.
