Prvidr appoints Susannah Redstone to lead New Zealand operations

AUCKLAND, 10 November 2026: Prvidr, Advantai Group's managed services business, has appointed Susannah Redstone, one of New Zealand's most experienced telco product and commercial leaders as Country Manager.

In the role, Redstone will lead Prvidr NZ's in-market operations and work closely with the group's brand partners launching and scaling mobile services with Prvidr in New Zealand. Redstone brings deep knowledge of the local market and its key players to a role central to the group's New Zealand growth.

"New Zealand's biggest brands want to give their customers more, and mobile is a natural place to start. Those brands need someone on the ground who knows this market inside out. Susannah has worked in almost every corner of New Zealand telco and the market knows her well. She is the right person to work alongside them," said David Joss, Chief Executive Officer of Advantai Group.

Redstone brings more than 25 years of New Zealand telecommunications experience spanning operators, resellers and handset manufacturers.She joins from Digital Island, where she has been General Manager, Marketing and Product Services since 2023.

 Before that she was Head of Broadband and Vodafone TV at One New Zealand, with ownership of both portfolios including P&L and commercial outcomes. Earlier in her career she held product, proposition and marketing leadership roles at Vodafone New Zealand, Spark Digital, CallPlus and Sony Ericsson, including managing MVNO partners as Product Manager, Mobile at TelstraClear.

Partnerships have been a constant through her career. She led Vodafone TV from launch through to retirement, building the retail partnerships that took the service to market, and has worked with dealer networks and offshore sales teams across multiple launches.

"I'm delighted to lead Prvidr in New Zealand at such a transformative time for both the Advantai Group and the Trans Tasman telecommunications industry," said Susannah Redstone, Country Manager Prvidr NZ.

"New Zealand's tier one consumer brands have relationships with their customers that most telcos would envy. Helping them turn that trust into a mobile service people love is a real opportunity, and I'm looking forward to working alongside them to make it happen," said Redstone.

Redstone's appointment follows Advantai Group's announcement last month of an exclusive 10-year enablement agreement between Prvidr NZ and One NZ. Under the agreement, Prvidr NZ delivers the platform, billing, customer management and operations for brands launching mobile services on One NZ's network, starting with Boost Mobile New Zealand.

Redstone's appointment is effective immediately.
