SkyCity Chief Executive Michael Ahearne Resigns
SkyCity chief executive Michael Ahearne has resigned and will step down at the end of March next year.
He joined the company in 2017 and was appointed as chief executive in November 2020.
Julian Cook, Chair of the SkyCity Board, said: “Michael has led the business through a very complex and demanding period. This has included dealing with the significant fire at the New Zealand International Convention Centre and rebuild, navigating the business through Covid-19 and the recovery, and responding to regulatory matters relating to the SkyCity Adelaide business. Michael has also led significant investment and improvements in SkyCity’s compliance functions.
“Michael has worked hard to set a strong platform for the business going forward and has been tireless in seeking to do the right thing for SkyCity. On behalf of myself and the SkyCity Board, I would like to thank Michael for his leadership, commitment and dedication through his time with SkyCity.”
The company has begun searching for Ahearne’s replacement.
