07 Apr Announcing our New CEO | Kaiwhakahaere Matua

Kia hiwa rā, kia hiwa rā!

Kia hiwa rā ki te koupoutanga o te kaiwhakahaere matua hōu o Toi Tangata!

E koa ana te ngākau kua kopoutia a Darrio Penetito-Hemara ki tēnei tūranga. Nō mātou te whiwhi i tēnei waihapetanga mai, me te aha, e hīkaka ana ki te whai i ngā mahi kei mua i te aroaro. E tai, nau mai hoki mai, Ngāti Hauā, Ngāti Tamaterā, Ngāpuhi ki tō rahi. Toi Tangata, ki te hoe!

We are honoured to announce that Darrio Penetito-Hemara has been appointed as the new Kaiwhakahaere Matua, CEO of Toi Tangata. Darrio (Ngāti Hauā, Ngāti Tamaterā, Ngāpuhi), is not a new face to Toi Tangata, having served since 2015 as Kaiārahi, Training and development specialist and then Pouārahi Training and Education Manager. He brings valuable experience and a wealth of knowledge to this key role. He will take the reins from Matire Seath, who has served as interim CEO since the departure of Megan Tunks in January.

We are excited to see what this new chapter brings and have full confidence in Darrio’s ability as he takes the helm of Toi Tangata. Darrio will join the team in mid April after an official welcome at a powhiri to be held on Monday 19 April 2021 at Mahurehure Marae, Auckland.
