Greg has three decades of experience as an owner and senior manager in one of NZ largest family held catering, events and hospitality businesses. As well as working on some of NZ icon events across Te Waipounamu - South Island of NZ, the business managed several venues including heritage listed buildings. The family sold the business in 2017.

Greg joined the Isaac Theatre Royal in 2022 initially under a short-term contract to provide leadership support and assist the Foundation Board’s strategic review. He was asked to stay on as CEO in 2023 and is excited by the challenges of assisting the Theatre on the next chapter of its incredible journey.

The Isaac Theatre Royal is an Edwardian styled lyrical theatre that opened its doors in 1908. It has seen several significant changes and improvements including a major upgrade in 1928 to assist screening films, 1998/2000 interior improvements including earthquake strengthening and 2004/05 major redevelopment of the stagehouse, Proscenium arch and dressing rooms. The most significant impact on the Theatre’s history has been the extensive rebuild undertaken following the Christchurch earthquakes in 2011. This year marks the 10th anniversary of reopening its doors.

Looking ahead, our vision is clear. We aspire to build on our heritage to be the premier performing arts destination in Te Waipounamu. We envision a future where the Isaac Theatre Royal is not only a venue for world-class performances, but also a catalyst for social change, a springboard for local talent and a driver of economic growth in our region.
