CEO changes at Quotable Value (QV)
The Quotable Value (QV) Board wishes to advise that Bill Osborne will be retiring from QV as CEO, and is pleased to
announce that he will be replaced by Jacquie Barker.
Jacquie Barker will take up the role early next year and has been the Chief Operating Officer since 2010. She is a
registered valuer who has been with QV for almost 30 years.
“We are delighted to have appointed Jacquie Barker as QV’s new CEO. Her appointment is testimony to all that she has
achieved during her tenure, including her contributions to customer-driven innovation, employee engagement and her
leadership,” says Raewyn Lovett, Chair of the QV Board.
“With great business acumen, and having worked across QV, Jacquie Barker has a deep understanding of the business, our
customers, our people and emerging market opportunities. She is driven by a vision of making QV the place to go to when
people think about property.
“QV is a high-performing business. Jacquie’s leadership will be vital in its next chapter as an agile customer-driven
business delivering data in ways that are smart, useful and increasingly mobile. It’s an exciting time for Jacquie
Barker to be taking up the reins as CEO,” Raewyn Lovett says.
Bill Osborne will finish on December 18 and as such, vacate the CEO role as well as his position as Managing Director of
Darroch, a QV subsidiary.
“Bill Osborne is well-known for his contribution to New Zealand’s property sector and he has successfully steered QV
through a range of economic conditions and changes over the last 17 years. The innovative products and services launched
under his guidance have transformed QV and the property sector. These include, revolutionising the delivery of rating
valuations, QV online and the development of e-valuer as well as recent digital products – QV homeguide and QV
costbuilder. He was instrumental in the development of the joint venture CoreLogic NZ that has grown to be a
well-recognised property data analytics and solution provider. “
“He is widely acknowledged for a legacy of leading industry change, innovation and reform. The board thanks Bill Osborne
for his major contribution and notes that he is leaving QV in an extremely strong position,” Raewyn Lovett says.
