Ventia has appointed Damian Pedreschi to the role of Executive General Manager, New Zealand in support of its strategy to redefine service excellence and in recognition of significant market growth opportunities across the country.

In this newly created role, Pedreschi will work with Ventia’s existing Transport, Telecommunications, Defence and Social Infrastructure and Infrastructure Services teams to bring together the full complement of Ventia’s capabilities for the benefit of New Zealand clients and communities.
