REINZ announces new CEO

REINZ Press Release – Tuesday 12th January 2014

Further to the pre-Christmas announcement of the resignation of Helen O’Sullivan as Chief Executive Officer, the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand announced today that it has appointed Colleen Milne to the CEO position.

“We are delighted to have found such a strong candidate with both relevant industry and commercial experience,” says REINZ Chair, Dame Rosanne Meo. “Colleen’s time at the NZ Realtors Network and previously with First National means that she has a comprehensive understanding of the industry throughout New Zealand and across our diverse sector groups.”

Joining the organisation late in January 2015, Colleen says of her new appointment: “Looking back on my last 15 years in executive roles, particularly the last four years in real estate, this position seems a natural career progression and it is with great anticipation and admiration for the industry that I look forward to the New Year.”

“REINZ is an organisation in great spirit and in a strong commercial position,” says Dame Rosanne. “The Real Estate Institute has a range of exciting initiatives in place to better service the industry and the needs of our members. We are grateful to Helen for her leadership during the last four years.”

“We are most confident of Colleen’s ability to continue to grow the organisation as it moves into its next phase and warmly welcome her to her new role.”
