The new role sees Ryan join Aurecon’s group executive leadership team and play a wider role across Aurecon’s global businesses. Commenting on her promotion, Ryan said: “As an owner-managed business, we benefit from Aurecon New Zealand’s local ownership together with the opportunities that our global reach affords us.

In the context of New Zealand’s current focus on deepening and strengthening international relationships and signalling to the world that it is open for business, the New Zealand chief executive role is a strategic choice, Ryan says.
“I’m looking forward to the enhanced opportunity to connect more broadly across our international businesses, while also helping to shape our direction and overall growth strategy. This will further enhance our ability to bring our clients in New Zealand the very best of our global thinking and capability – and share the expertise of our NZ team with the world,” Ryan said.
