Deloitte is pleased to announce the appointment of Kate Reid as a Director for Digital Health, in its Consulting service
line. She joins Deloitte today and is based in Auckland.
Ms Reid has been the General Manager of Orion Health in New Zealand since 2015 and she is the current chair of New
Zealand Health IT (NZHIT). Deloitte is pleased to support NZHIT with its goal of enabling a healthier New Zealand
through technology solutions and has joined this vibrant network as a corporate member.
Deloitte’s National Consulting Leader Cobus Scholtz says Deloitte is very excited to have Kate join the firm. Kate will
be working with Deloitte’s Health Sector Leader Thorsten Engel, to further expand Deloitte’s offerings and services to
the industry.
“Kate is well known and respected in the industry as a dynamic leader adept at pursuing partnerships and collaborations
that ultimately help improve health care outcomes for New Zealanders. She is passionate about the role of digital in
driving precision health care. During her time at Orion Health, she has successfully grounded their brand in New Zealand
as a technology company that can deliver the tools health care organisations need today,” says Mr Scholtz.
“Health care is evolving as the industry undergoes significant change. At Deloitte we are looking to increase our
capability to help the industry navigate and respond to this disruption and complexity, and Kate will make an immediate
and positive impact on these efforts.”
Deloitte’s Health Care Team is also proud to sponsor next month’s Health Informatics New Zealand (HiNZ) conference in
Wellington and will have a booth at the conference. Both Kate and Thorsten will be on hand to talk to industry attendees
about smarter health care and innovative ways of working.
