Jo Trezise

In this role I supported the National Managing Partner to the Advisory division and also managed a team of Personal Assistants in Wellington/Christchurch.

In March 2016 Cabinet approved the Expert Advisory Panels final report and it was agreed that a new Ministry would be created (Ministry of Children, Oranga Tamariki).

The Secretariat transitioned into the Investing in Children Programme. My role supported the Programme Director and Associate Director. At the end of the project, the Programme Director, who is the National Managing Partner at KPMG, then asked me to join KPMG to assist him.

In April 2015 the Minister for Social Development established the Modernising Child Youth and Family Expert Panel to oversee the development of a new child-centric operating model for CYF. The Secretariat was then created to support the Expert Panel. In 10 months, the Expert Panel completed two reports; the Interim Report in June 2015, and in December 2015 the Final Report was delivered to the Minister. My Manager from MSD (below) asked me to go with her to the Secretariat.

I was the Executive Assistant to the General Manager Service Development at Work and Income (fixed term). This team had approx. 130 staff and along with the usual EA responsibilities, e.g. diary management, Inbox and travel I also looked after our teams payroll/HR needs and staff events.

I provided EA support to various executives in my 10 years and also was asked to support two Management Board members when required (Global COO and Global HR Head). My last role was EA to the Group General Manager Global Shared Services.
