City Rail Link Ltd has named its Chief Financial Officer, Patrick Brockie, as the new Chief Executive to lead the country’s largest transport infrastructure project to completion.
Mr Brockie, a chartered accountant, joined CRL Ltd five years ago. He replaces Dr Sean Sweeney who is leaving in September.
City Rail Link Ltd’s Chair, John Bridgman, says Mr Brockie’s appointment comes at an important time for CRL.
“Patrick’s knowledge of CRL’s complexities and challenges are underscored by his passion for the project. Critically, his appointment provides seamless continuity that will ensure the momentum we have right across the project is maintained as we drive towards planned practical completion late next year,” Mr Bridgman says.
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.
“I am privileged to take charge of a project that is changing Auckland,” Mr Brockie says. “Our finish line gets closer by the day and our priority is to deliver a world class railway to help our vibrant city continue to grow and prosper – and we are committed to doing that as effectively and efficiently as possible,” Mr Brockie says.
Dr Sweeney is leaving for Ireland to head construction of a metro rail tunnel project in Dublin.
