One NZ Names Nick Quin as Head of Public Sector

Telecommunications and technology company One New Zealand has announced the appointment of Nick Quin as its new Head of Public Sector with responsibilities for strengthening and deepening its relationships with government.

“One NZ is a key partner for many of the government services that New Zealanders rely on every day. We’re proud of the role our telecommunications, connectivity and security services play in making New Zealand a better place to live,” says One NZ Enterprise Director Mike Purchase.

One NZ provides communications and IT services to a range of public sector clients. Last year it also launched a joint venture with Spark NZ called Hourua to deliver Next Generation Critical Communications’ Public Safety Network, which supports emergency responders with access to information including data, voice, text, video and images.

“Nick will play a key role in leading our engagement with government customers to support their technological transformations. He brings incredible experience in helping organisations adapt to new technology to provide better services to their customers and stakeholders.”

Quin joins One NZ from SAP where he led its public sector business during the past seven years. Prior to that he worked for global technology firms in sales and leadership roles across Australia, Asia, the UK and New Zealand.

“I’m excited about working for a New Zealand owned and operated business, and with a team dedicated to enabling our government to operate more effectively and efficiently, as well as positioning our country to be on the forefront of innovation and AI adoption,” says Quin.

“One NZ has a key role in the provision of critical infrastructure in this country and materially contributes to providing resiliency and security to the government sector, which in turn helps protect New Zealand and its citizens.

“The telecommunications and technology industry is incredibly dynamic. I look forward to working with my team to strengthen relationships with our government customers and deliver better outcomes for New Zealanders.”

One NZ provides a range of enterprise connectivity products including unified communication services, managed networks, contact centre and cyber security, as well as partnering with DEFEND, Palo Alto Networks, Microsoft, Google, Cisco, AWS and others to provide world-class technology solutions to its customers.

Quin is based in Wellington and will sit on the One NZ Enterprise Leadership Team.
