Telecom Times is pleased to announce that, starting immediately, Heather Wright has been appointed as New Zealand Editor.

 

Heather is the former senior news editor for Techday’s channel brands across New Zealand, Australia and Asia.

 

She has covered technology and telecommunications from all angles, having worked for The Dominion Post’s New Zealand InfoTech Weekly and Business Day offerings, NZ PC World as well as having served a stint as editor of IT Brief NZ. 


Beyond technology, Heather was founding editor of a Kiwi community newspaper and has contributed to numerous publications in New Zealand and Australia, covering finance, careers and management and travel.

 

"It was time we had someone on the ground in NZ to report directly on the telco industry there," commented Telecom Times Editor Richard van der Draay. "Heather is eminently suited to the role and I'm confident her input will prove to be a huge contribution to our local coverage going forward."
