Meridian Energy has appointed Rory Blundell to the newly created role of general manager, strategy and portfolio. He was previously the firm’s group strategy manager.
Meridian says he brings more than 20 years of New Zealand electricity sector experience to his new role, having previously held numerous senior and executive management positions in the industry.
CEO designate Mike Roan says in a statement that Blundell’s depth of sector experience and quality have advanced the development and execution of Meridian’s strategy.
“I am confident he will improve the way our market portfolio and customer solutions align with that strategy. Rory’s calibre will add to the Meridian Executive and further improve the way we work collectively.”
He adds that Blundell is a “great example of the bench strength we have developed at Meridian, and I look forward to his continued contribution to the future direction of this company”.
