Loyalty NZ

• New Zealand
• Advertising Services
• 100 - 200 Employee

• Chief Information Officer

  • Apr 2004 - Jun 2006

  As Chief Information Officer at Loyalty New Zealand (on Executive Lease), I was responsible for the design of improvements to intelligence gathering and analysis to enhance the intrinsic value of Fly Buys to Participants and Members. During my tenure, Loyalty had 50 Programme Participants, and reacted with over 85% of NZ households. The business relationships between Participants, and the relationships that Loyalty has with each participant, are commercially sensitive, but crucial to the business development strategies for both Loyalty and the Participants. The accuracy and security of information is critical to the operation of the Fly Buys programme. In this respect it is very similar to a banking system. I held overall responsibility for strategic industry development, security, operational ICT performance and accuracy, and liaison with Participant ICT functions. I reported directly to the Chief Executive, and was a member of the Senior Management Team. Show less
