Patrick Brockie, a chartered accountant, joined CRL Ltd as its Chief Financial Officer and replaced Dr Sean Sweeney as CEO in 2024.
Mr Brockie’s career is extensive.
He has held senior management positions in the banking sector and spent significant time working in Asia and the United Kingdom.
Mr Brockie also has significant infrastructure experience including working on City Rail Link since 2019.
He started his career with NZ Railways Corporation, is a former Chair of Infrastructure New Zealand, and a trustee for World Vision New Zealand.
