Welcome to Conoscenti

To our knowledge, there are few such networking opportunities for Executive Assistants to Chief Executive Officers in the Auckland region and research has indicated that there is a need for such a forum, particularly as there is generally only one Executive Assistant to the Chief Executive Officer in any company and opportunities to network with colleagues at a similar level are restricted.

In February 2004, Conoscenti was founded by three Executive Assistants to Chief Executive Officers; Jacqui Clark formerly from EDS New Zealand, Natalie Hall formerly from TelstraClear, and Julie Gutry formerly from Auckland Regional Council.

The Conoscenti Executive Committee currently comprises:

Natalie Hall:
(Co-Founder, Committee Chair; Director; Responsibility - Events portfolio)
Executive Assistant to Chief Executive of TVNZ
Colleen Fitzgerald:
(Director; Responsibility - Membership and Special Projects portfolios)
Corporate Support Services Manager & Executive Assistant to Managing Director, Bank of New Zealand
Anna McGuire:
(Responsibility - Sponsorship and Educationals portfolios)
Executive Assistant to Managing Director, Pernod Ricard New Zealand
Vicky Lowe:
(Responsibility - Financials and Website portfolios)
Executive Assistant to Chief Executive Officer, Stella Travel Services Limited

A brief biography on each of the Executive Committee members can be found on the Committee page.

Conoscenti is a boutique forum with membership by invitation only. The successful applicant will need to be the most senior EA/PA in your company organisation structure here in New Zealand and report directly to the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager/Managing Director equivalent.
