We have it on good authority, that the very dishy and well connected Mark Weldon - he who runs NZX, is seriously considering a tilt at the big windmill that is the Auckland Super City as its new CEO. This is very smart on a number of fronts. He is a business boy and the city needs to be run like a business. Weldon obviously has some serious currency with John Key. Key put him in charge of the Job summit and yaks to him all the time. Banksy is an old face and Weldon is a new one. We need new faces.
The power of the Key , Weldon team ( remember that Auckland is the biggest business next to Fonterra) could be awesome.
Sort of like the business equivalent of Batman and Robin.
We like it very very much.
