DairyNZ CEO Tim Mackle has stepped down after 15 years in the role, citing personal reasons. To facilitate a smooth transition, he will finish at the end of June, allowing the DairyNZ board time to recruit a successor.
DairyNZ chair Jim van der Poel thanked Mackle for his tenure and said: “Tim has always been hugely passionate about helping dairy farmers navigate challenges they have faced and continue to face.
“He has played a key role in developing the R&D program and the development of our science-based policy and advocacy function. He has been a strong leader and advocate for dairy.”
Mackle said: “I would really want to thank our wonderful team, the dedicated and talented staff of DairyNZ, our supportive and committed board, our partners, and crucially, our farmers.”
