Profile

Gillian Blythe

Originally from the UK, I came to NZ to work on electricity reform in the mid 1990s. I worked on the design of competitive wholesale market, the split of ECNZ, and then spent 20 years at Meridian Energy in senior leadership positions across strategy and regulatory affairs. I joined Water New Zealand in July 2020.

I am married to Chris, and the mother of Jack and Sam - both of whom are contemplating engineering careers - perhaps in water?
