Property investment advisory service Propellor Properties has appointed Keith Ward as chief executive. Mr Ward assumes day-to-day management responsibilities from founder and principal Nikki Connors, who is stepping back from her operational role to focus on her various philanthropic endeavours and other business ventures.
Mr Ward’s background in business consultancy and management includes success as an entrepreneur and investor and in real estate. Most recently, as the owner of a major central Auckland real estate franchise, he grew the branch from a staff of three to 29 within three years. Separately, Mr Ward has held a number of directorships, and provided strategic planning and business mentoring services for private clients and angel investments.
Mr Ward assumes management of Propellor Properties as it undergoes a digital transformation that is more keenly targeted to the company connecting with its market. He says, “As CEO I am continuing to grow on the success, reputation and integrity of a brand that Nikki Connors has spent the last 10 years building from the ground up. It is a privilege to be working alongside Nikki as the most knowledgeable and passionate property expert in New Zealand, and we are now focused even more intently on procuring for our clients the best investment property opportunities in the New Zealand market.”
Ms Connors says, “Keith is hugely experienced in property and is the perfect person to lead Propellor into its next phase of growth. I will remain closely involved as principal of the business, as he takes over the implementation of my various national initiatives for the future of Propellor, including opening Propellor Waikato and expanding the Metropolis Design brand. This work plus Keith’s expertise ensure that Propellor and its offering will remain relevant in the ever-changing property sector.”
