The NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) has announced that chief executive Nicole Rosie will conclude her term in mid-February 2025.
The announcement was made jointly by NZTA board chair Simon Bridges and Rosie who has led the organisation for the past four-and-a-half-years.
“Leading NZTA has been a highlight of my more than 20 years in senior management,” she says.
“The team at NZTA is incredibly dedicated to ensuring New Zealand has a land transport system that supports economic prosperity and serves our communities and I’m proud to have been part of that.”
Rosie joined NZTA as its chief executive in February 2020. During her time she has steered the organisation through the disruption of COVID-19, the impacts of multiple weather events including the North Island weather events of early 2023 and a significant growth in its work programme. She also came into the role following a high-profile regulatory failure at the organisation.
“I’m proud that during my time as chief executive, we’ve delivered major projects such as Transmission Gully, the Pūhoi to Warkworth motorway and the State Highway 25A Taparahi rebuild, as well as strengthening our regulatory function and our digital offerings.
“Now is the right time for me to move on to other challenges. I want to thank the wonderful team at NZTA and the partners, stakeholders and communities who are valued contributors to our work,” Rosie says.
The NZTA board says it will initiate a recruitment process for a new chief executive.
