New role for SFO Chief Executive

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has today confirmed that Chief Executive, Adam Feeley has accepted the position of Queenstown Lakes District Council Chief Executive.

An exact date for Mr Feeley’s departure has not been set, but it is expected to be within the next three months.

Mr Feeley has been with the SFO since 2009 and in that time has lead a significant change within the Office.

"The focus of the past few years has been to give the public increased confidence that fraudsters will be held to account, and rebuild the capacity of the SFO. While there is still work to be done, I think that a very talented team within the SFO has achieved an enormous amount.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the SFO and I’m confident the team will continue to prove that the SFO are as good as any agency in the world for tackling serious financial crime” he said.

Mr Feeley will be moving his family to Queenstown and is looking forward to engaging with his new community.

“I have a long affinity with the District and I am excited about the new and very different challenges there."
