Retail NZ has appointed Carolyn Young as its new chief executive, to succeed Greg Harford, who is stepping down from July 21.
President Liz Wheadon said today that Young’s appointment was made following a robust national search process.
“We had extensive interest in the role, and Retail NZ looks forward to a continued successful and impactful future under Carolyn’s leadership.”
Young was most recently the chief executive of Special Olympics New Zealand, and Netball Central Zone. She previously held roles at the Dental Council and Jacques Martin.
With a successful background in marketing, finance, and accounting gained from her previous roles, Young’s diverse skill set perfectly aligns with the needs of Retail NZ.
Young will be receiving a handover from outgoing chief executive Harford, who is leaving on July 21 to take up a new role as chief executive of the Canberra Business Chamber.
