The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) has announced the appointment of Nicole Rosie as its new Chief Executive Officer.
Chairperson Duncan Gay says Rosie brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the position and is looking forward to officially welcoming her to the NHVR on June 30, 2025.
Rosie has more than 20 years of leadership experience in both the public and private sectors, most recently as CEO of the New Zealand Transport Agency following her role as CEO of WorkSafe New Zealand. She has also held senior executive roles at Fonterra, KiwiRail, Vector and Toll NZ.
Gay says Rosie’s strong background in governance, law and public policy, combined with a deep understanding of transport and infrastructure, made her the ideal candidate to lead the NHVR into its next chapter of “harmonisation and innovation”.
Janelle van de Velde, who has acted as Interim CEO following former CEO Sal Petroccitto’s departure in January, will remain in the position until Rosie commences with the NHVR on June 30.
