Wintec (Waikato Institute of Technology) has appointed Wendy Gillespie to the position of Planning Manager. The position of Planning Manager was formerly held by David Christiansen who has taken up the position of senior adviser to CEO Mark Flowers.

Ms. Gillespie said she was excited to be joining Wintec at a time when the institute was surging forward so strongly, along with solid strategic partners to improve economic outcomes for the region.

“Clearly a lot of groundwork has been accomplished within Wintec in recent years and I’m looking forward to being part of the team that is now ready to move up a gear in terms of it’s role in the region.”
