Kirstie McNulty appointed as new manager for Te Pae Christchurch

Kirstie McNulty has been appointed by Ōtākaro Limited, the owner of Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre, to oversee the new facility and manage its relationship with the venue operator, ASM Global.

Formerly the Centre Manager at Westfield Riccarton, McNulty has an extensive background in major asset management and marketing.

Ōtākaro Chief Executive, John Bridgman, says McNulty brings a wealth of experience to the role and adds “we’re confident Kirstie will form a great relationship with Ross Steele and his ASM team who operate the venue.

“Te Pae Christchurch is a world class facility and as the owner we are determined to ensure it provides the greatest social and economic benefits for our city.”

Prior to her role for the past four and a half years as Centre Manager at Westfield Riccarton, McNulty had earlier held Assistant Manager and Marketing Manager roles.  She worked in retail management before joining Westfield in 2012.

Recently Te Pae hosted its 100th event since the COVID-related gathering restrictions were lifted in April. In August alone the venue staged 23 events including 12 multi-day conventions.
