Ian Smith
Manager Business Strategy and Growth
Innovation and growth are the cornerstones of TBIG’s future and Ian Smith moves into our national team to drive and realise our growth ambition. In a newly established role as Manager Business Strategy and Growth, Ian leads the strategic thought space to champion new growth, business strategy and opportunties for TBIG on a national basis. We are excited to leverage Ian’s considerable experience and expertise as a strategic leader, and to make the most of his wise business head for opportunities and challenges in the marketplace.
Over the last eight years as Southern Business Manager, Ian has achieved great success in growing TBIG’s footprint from an anchor team in Christchurch to a strong and resilient business with offices and leaders now established across the South Island. That influence will not be lost as he continues to have a strong focus in the South, and he’ll amplify that experience into a national voice, providing strategic input and leading special projects to carry our company’s growth ambitions alongside Managing Director Ian Macaskill.
Ian has all the hallmarks for this new role, having built a legacy of respect, leadership and success over 30+ years in the industry in senior leadership. Ian’s national focus, anticipating and responding to our client’s needs at a strategic level rather than a delivery level, is an important differentiator in how we create project success.
