Kiwi Property has today announced a new streamlined executive team structure to align more strongly the business to growth opportunities and position better the business for continued success. Chair, Mark Ford, said: "These changes represent a significant step toward streamlining our business in a way that will greatly enhance our ability to grow revenue, while continuing to focus our teams on creating the spaces that Kiwis love." The new executive team structure has been designed to: o evolve the company's core strategy to create mixed-use communities where we can derive the combined economic benefits from synergistic mixed uses, such as office, retail, hotels, civic, entertainment, dining, residential, medical etc. o provide dedicated property investment and funds management resources to drive our mixed-use focus and further leverage our property platform into third party asset management opportunities o drive rental income growth from the existing property portfolio o increase collaboration across the property asset classes and teams, and o seek operational efficiencies "This represents the continued evolution of Kiwi Property's investment strategy, establishing clear paths and accountabilities for growth and business focus," said Mr Ford. Chief Executive Officer, Clive Mackenzie, said: "The Company's strategy has been gradually evolving beyond standalone office and retail property ownership to a more diversified investment approach." "The organisational re-alignment further cements our strategic evolution to more purposefully focus our business on extracting value from a mixed-use property approach, and by building additional income streams, such as from funds management and third-party asset management."
