Alex Cutler, the new Chief Executive at RDT Pacific, will also retain her role as Chief Sustainability Officer, to lead the organisation with a long-term lens.

Whilst providing leadership for the company’s strategic direction and taking responsibility for RDT Pacific’s operations, Alex will also champion the integration of sustainability across all aspects of the business.

“We are delighted that Alex has accepted our invitation to lead the organisation, injecting her passion and enthusiasm, and shaping how we respond to the changing market over the next term,” says Chair of the RDT Pacific Board, David Prentice.

“Our core competencies as Project Managers and Quantity Surveyors are an important part of what we do, but these roles become even more meaningful and effective when integrated with RDT Pacific’s Sustainability and Capital Intelligence advisory. We see Alex as a key part in helping us move our strategy forward.”

Alex joined RDT Pacific in September 2021 as Chief Sustainability Officer. Previously Chief Executive of the New Zealand Green Building Council, she is an experienced senior executive, industry influencer and lifelong sustainability advocate for the property and construction sectors.

“Taking on the challenge as Chief Executive/Chief Sustainability Officer at RDT Pacific and leading this organisation is exciting and timely, because I am passionate about who we are and where we can go, and the opportunities that sustainability can offer,” Alex says.

“Taking a broader perspective on our impact as an organisation, means we are preparing our own business for the future, but we’re also considering the future for our clients – their strategy, their portfolio and their developments. That depth of understanding about our clients’ challenges, makes for a more nuanced service offering.

“The ultimate aim has to be to help us all deliver Aotearoa New Zealand’s built environments of the future.”
