Ngāi Tahu Holdings board member and former Tainui Group Holdings Chief Executive Mike Pohio (Ngāi Tahu and Ngāti Pikiao) has been appointed Chief Executive of Ngāi Tahu Holdings. Ngāi Tahu Holdings chair Mark Tume made the announcement today. Pohio will stand down as a Ngāi Tahu Holdings board member and start in the chief executive role on 6 January 2020. Pohio’s appointment comes after Ngāi Tahu Holdings’ chief executive of seven years, Mike Sang, announced in August that he was stepping down. Sang will step back from the role but remain with the company until 20 March 2020 to support a smooth handover. Ngāi Tahu is a major investor in Ryman Healthcare.
