I quickly came to appreciate the remarkable story behind Gallagher and its deep commitment to the community. It's a privilege to join such an iconic, New Zealand-grown organisation, and I'm excited to contribute my experience and knowledge to support the outstanding work the team is delivering and help drive the next chapter of growth for Gallagher."
