Kaikōura District Council hires new chief executive

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

The Kaikōura District Council has hired a new chief executive.

He is Will Doughty, who came to Kaikōura as the council's rebuild director after the earthquake, and went on to a management role with the North Canterbury Transport Infrastructure Recovery (NCTIR) alliance.

The new chief executive had experience in leadership roles across a wide range of projects, delivering major work programmes for the Christchurch City Council through the city's infrastructure rebuild.

Doughty, who will take up the reins at the council in February, said he was excited about the opportunity.

“We live in a truly incredible place and I look forward to leading a great team to help our community to continue to recover and prosper,” he said.

The new chief executive's contract is for five years.
