New RealNZ CEO reveals big but sustainable goals

After 15 years’ delivering world-class events — culminating in this year’s Fifa Women’s World Cup — Dave Beeche feels like his new job is the "culmination of a whole lifetime’s worth of work".

Mr Beeche, 53, was yesterday announced as the new chief executive of Queenstown-based tourism magnate RealNZ, a role he will officially start on January 29.

He replaces former chief executive Stephen England-Hall, who resigned from the position in March.
