Christine Wright

Christine brings more than 15 years’ experience in recruitment across New Zealand and the United Kingdom, specialising in technology, data, and transformation roles. She began her career in technology and transformation recruitment before moving to the UK, where she joined management consultancy North Highland. There she recruited across consulting and corporate roles and later stepped into a leadership role managing a talent team supporting major client programmes. Since returning to New Zealand, Christine has led end-to-end recruitment for organisations including ANZ, Transpower, and Spark, focusing on programme, transformation, and technology roles. More recently she supported Te Tumu Paeroa (the Office of the Māori Trustee), helping build capability for major programmes of work and leading recruitment across a broad range of roles.

Christine is known for her deep experience recruiting across technology, data, and transformation roles. She works with organisations undertaking large programmes of change, helping leaders identify the capability needed to deliver complex initiatives. Her experience across consulting, corporate, and public sector environments allows her to quickly understand the context behind a role and connect organisations with people who can contribute from day one.

Christine is particularly proud of her work with Te Tumu Paeroa, where she helped build capability for major programmes of work and supported the organisation to recruit at scale for the first time. By introducing structure, clear recruitment processes, and support for hiring managers, she helped teams grow quickly while building confidence in their approach to hiring.

Christine enjoys helping organisations solve complex hiring challenges and bringing the right people into teams. She is motivated by the impact the right hire can have — strengthening teams, supporting important programmes of work, and helping individuals step into roles where they can grow and contribute. She is also proud of the example she sets for her three daughters, showing them the value of working hard, enjoying what you do, and building a career that makes a difference.

Christine approaches recruitment with a calm, organised, and relationship-driven style. She works closely with leaders to understand the broader context behind a role and bring structure to the hiring process. She is known for building clear recruitment processes, supporting hiring managers to make confident decisions, and maintaining momentum even when organisations are building the plane as they fly it. Her focus on communication, structure, and follow-through helps organisations move confidently from brief to successful hire.
