Anton Drazevic, CEO

Anton joined the team as Manager in 2018 to lead our Nelson city team and was appointed CEO in 2020. He brings specialist skills in branding, marketing and communications.

After a 20 year career in the marketing communications service industry in Australia, he returned home to New Zealand with his family to work on the Kaikōura and Canterbury recovery before relocating to Nelson.
