Keall’s Tech Power List
Chris Keall at NBR (sub needed) blogs his power list for the tech sector. Some of his picks are:
- 1 Bill English, Finance and Infrastructure Minister
- 2 Steven Joyce, Comms and IT Minister
- 3 Paul Reynolds, Telecom CEO
- 4 Matt Crockett, Telecom Wholesale CE
- 6 Russell Stanners, Vodafone CEO
- 8 Ralph Chivers, Telecom GM of Govt and industry relations
- 10 Tex Edwards, Founder of 2Degrees
- 11 Rod Drury, Xero CEO
- 12 Allan Freeth, Telstra-Clear CEO
- 13 Mark Ratcliffe, Telecom Chorus CE
- 16 Ross Patterson, Telecommunications Commissioner
- 17 Ernie Newman, TUANZ CEO
- 18 Simon Mackenzie, Vector CEO
- 22 Keith Manch, DIA Deputy Secretary Regulation & Compliance
- 23 Peter Dengate-Thrush, ICANN Chairman
- 25 Matthew and Bronwyn Holloway-Smith, Creative Freedom Foundation founders
Personally I would have the Telco Commissioner much much higher up the list, and I would also have Bruce Parkes the MED Deputy Secretary on there. But an interesting selection.
