New Crown company Ōtākaro this afternoon announced the appointment of Albert Brantley to the role of chief executive.
The appointment of Mr Brantley - who was chief executive of Genesis Energy for eight years - comes a day after Ōtākaro officially took on responsibilities for the delivery of Christchurch's anchor projects and precincts.
Mr Brantley said the people of Christchurch should be confident that the new company - one of two which have replaced the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority - will make a real difference for the city.
He said a great deal of good work had been done in terms of planning, discussion and consultation, and he now had the opportunity to come in with a very disciplined approach and proceed to the implementation stage.
Mr Brantley was born in the US state of Georgia, but is a Canadian resident, and now resides in Kaiapoi.
He will begin the role on 2 May.
