More mega-merger problems

Stuff reports:

Just weeks after the resignation of its chief executive, Te Pūkenga has been dealt another blow as its chief financial officer has quit – just months into the job.

Te Pūkenga – the country’s largest tertiary education provider – is now being led by an interim CFO and an acting CEO.

Matthew Walker joined Te Pūkenga as CFO in July, saying: “I’m really looking forward to hitting the ground running.”

A CFO who leaves after less than three months? That is unheard of and indicates there must be something very seriously wrong at the organisation that is Chris Hipkins’ baby.
