The NuTekk People

40 Years of Business, Sales and Technology Experience

Paul W. Speary, Dip Bus Marketing
Managing Director

Paul’s background is diverse. Born in New Jersey, USA, Paul has traveled and lived all over the world including London, Los Angeles, Caracas, New Delhi, New York and Auckland. He is tri-lingual and speaks fluent Spanish, Russian and English.

Paul started work in 1983 as a management cadet with New Zealand Insurance, and moved up to insurance broking with Jardine Insurance Brokers. This gave him an overall grounding of how business worked and exposed him to a variety of industries. Following the 1987 stock market crash, Paul joined Coca Cola Bottlers where he found his calling in marketing and sales. At Coca Cola he managed and built the Special Events department and created the New Zealand sponsorship and promotions division. From here Paul worked in a variety of other industries including FMCG, travel, freight, entertainment/special events, film and IT&T. In these roles Paul used his marketing, sales and business management skills to grow the companies he worked for, and always delivered in excess of expectations.

Paul’s most recent position was as CEO for a leading Auckland-based ISP. The role made him the youngest CEO of a publicly-listed company in the New Zealand market.

As founding director, Paul’s role is to generate and build the business and develop NuTekk’s working models.
