About

The 2012 New Zealand CFO Summit was an enormous success. Our audience of over 200 CFOs enjoyed a day of insightful, high-level presentations from some of New Zealand’s most well-respected business leaders was capped off by a sell-out dinner for over 380 people. We’re eagerly looking forward to the 2013 Summit, with planning for next year’s event already well underway.

The 2013 Conference will be held on 26 March 2013 at the Langham, Auckland.


CFO Awards

The 2012 CFO Awards celebrated and recognised individuals and teams who have made a difference to the financial community.

Our congratulations go to:

Telecom CFO Nick Olson took out 2012 CFO of the Year for leading one of the most complex demergers in New Zealand corporate history.
“We were hugely impressed by the scope of change and process improvement introduced by Nick,” said the judges. “He is widely regarded as bringing the fun back into the team thanks to his down-to-earth and approachable demeanour. Nick was also instrumental in developing and implementing Telecom’s three year strategic plan.”

Scott Scoullar, CFO, Inland Revenue was given a special commendation.

Bank of New Zealand’s youngest-ever Divisional CFO Martin Gaskell won the Young Financial Manager of the Year award.
“Martin’s strong technical skills have helped him develop an incredibly committed and high-achieving team. He was also one of 20 people, out of 40,000 employees across New Zealand and Australia, to be selected for the bank’s Accelerate leadership programme,” said the judges.

The Finance Team of the Year award went to Air New Zealand for having a culture of excellence focusing on employee engagement and outstanding interaction with the wider business.

Auckland Council picked up Financial Innovation Project of the Year for its Annual Plan, which was put together in eight months during a time of uncertainty and change.
