Matt Cowley, Tauranga's Chamber of Commerce's new chief executive, says he's excited by the "great opportunity" he's been given and cannot wait to get his feet under the desk.
The chamber's current chief executive, Stan Gregec revealed earlier this year that he was stepping down.
"Matt comes to the chamber from Fire Security Services where he has been the
national sales manager since 2016. Prior to that, he was an elected city councillor with
Tauranga City (2013 - 2016) and an analyst with Bay of Plenty Regional Council (2006 -
2013)," Gregec said in a statement.
Cowley has a Bachelor of Resource and Environmental Planning from Massey University
and a Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration from the University of
Waikato.
He takes up his new role at the Chamber on June 3.
