Ōtākaro Limited, the owner of Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre, has appointed Kirstie McNulty to oversee the Centre and manage its relationship with the venue operator, ASM Global.
McNulty replaces outgoing general manager Te Pae operations, Keith Beal, and will work alongside Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre general manager Ross Steele and his ASM Global team.
Formerly the centre manager at Westfield Riccarton, McNulty has an extensive background in major asset management and marketing and will bring a wealth of experience to the role.
“We’re confident Kirstie will form a great relationship with Ross Steele and his ASM Global team who operate the venue,” Ōtākaro chief executive, John Bridgman said.
“Te Pae Christchurch is a world class facility and as the owner we are determined to ensure it provides the greatest social and economic benefits for our city.”
Te Pae recently hosted its 100th event since COVID-related gathering restrictions were lifted in April. In August, the venue staged 23 events including 12 multi-day conventions.
