We are excited to welcome Jonathan Smith to Carr Gomm’s Business Development Team!
Our Business Development Team plays a vital role in Carr Gomm’s communications, raising awareness of our services and is instrumental in the tendering process. We are delighted that Jonathan Smith has joined the team as our Media and Communications Manager (maternity cover).
Jonny brings a wealth of experience in communications and engagement, having worked as a specialist across several public sector organisations in New Zealand. His career highlights include helping ensure communities stayed connected during COVID-19 by developing digital inclusion initiatives and, as an Engagement Lead for Wellington City Council, facilitating community conversation and consultations to design and build the city’s ambitious sustainable transport network. However, perhaps most importantly, Jonny sang “Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” over a thousand times in his time as a children’s librarian. When not working, Jonny enjoys playing golf and sharing his love of improvised comedy.
“From my work at libraries, to my time in transport planning, I’ve always aimed to place dignity and agency at the heart of everything I do. I’m excited to join an organisation that shares these values and asks people what we can do to improve their lives, each and every day.” – Jonathan Smith, Media and Communications Manager (maternity cover)
We’re excited to see Jonny bring his skills and passion to the Business Development Team, helping to highlight the incredible work Carr Gomm does across communities.
