Stephen England-Hall has been named as the next chief executive for Tourism New Zealand.
He takes charge of Tourism New Zealand in April 2017 and replaces Kevin Bowler who left in late October.
He joins from Loyalty New Zealand where he was CEO.
Previously he was chief marketing officer with Syncapse Corporation and also chief executive for media agency Razorfish in London.
"After what was a robust and stimulating process for the board, we are delighted to have secured a chief executive of such calibre. Stephen will be stepping into the organisation at a time of significant growth and success," said TNZ chair Kerry Prendergast.
"He inherits a high performing team successfully delivering integrated marketing communications that has supported the tourism industry to become New Zealand’s number one export earner."
