This week, Bruce's guest is, Jason Paris, the CEO of One NZ, formerly Vodafone.
Jason has worked across New Zealand’s corporate tech sector, with leadership roles at Nokia, TVNZ, and Spark, before joining Vodafone as their CEO five years ago.
He speaks in detail about the rebranding of Vodafone to One NZ. The reasons for the name change, how they came up with the new name, and of course, the reaction from key stakeholders. And he gets into his great passion – the customer experience – explaining why he gives his email address out to every One NZ customer.
With rugby league’s NRL season about to get under way, who better to speak to about the Warriors chances, than the CEO of their main sponsor. The Vodafone / One NZ sponsorship arrangement is one of the longest in the NRL. And this CEO is a life long league fan. His view from the changing room demonstrates the commitment of the company to the club and vice versa.
As always, we wrap up the podcast by asking Jason what he would do if he was Prime Minister for a day? His answer is one of our best yet.
