Thu, 25 Feb 2021

MediaWorks has announced the appointment of Rachel Callaghan as the company’s general counsel. 

Callaghan has recently returned to New Zealand from London where she was associate general counsel and board director at Centrica Hive and part of the management team that established and built up the technology business over the past seven years to have more than 1.5 million customers worldwide. In her role she was responsible for leading the business through all legal aspects of the company’s development and growth, including its expansion into the US, Canada, and Europe. 

Prior to her time at Centrica Hive, Callaghan held a number of senior in-house legal roles in London including head of legal at British Gas and international counsel for GMR Infrastructure. She has had more than 15 years’ private practice experience in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. 

MediaWorks chief executive Cam Wallace said: “It’s fantastic to have Rachel bring her extensive legal experience to MediaWorks. Rachel has a strong background and proven success in providing legal expertise that will be instrumental to MediaWorks as it continues its growth trajectory. We are extremely lucky to be the beneficiary of another New Zealander returning home – she will be a valuable addition to the MediaWorks leadership team. 

“In addition, the appointment of a dedicated general counsel means current HR & legal director Alex Nicholson can solely focus on our people ... I want to thank her for her significant contribution to the legal team over the past six years.”

On joining MediaWorks, Callaghan said: “It’s been fantastic to return to New Zealand where I started my legal career and I’m really excited about joining the team at MediaWorks.”

MediaWorks said Callaghan will join the team on March 1.
