Rex Capil Appointed As Acting Chief Executive

After a robust selection process, Rex Capil, Governance and Strategy Group Manager has been appointed Acting Thames-Coromandel Chief Executive, with unanimous support from Council.

Rex will take on the Chief Executive responsibilities, effective immediately, until a permanent Chief Executive is in place.

A formal process of recruiting a Chief Executive is now underway, targeting an appointment by mid-year.

“We also give our full support to Rex and his Leadership Team in managing council business, while we go through the formal recruitment process,” says Mayor Sandra.
