Geoff Penrose

I was appointed General Manager of Lifemark in 2014. I was previously the CEO of Qualmark New Zealand Ltd for five years and then spent four years working as a business consultant in Europe, Asia and the Pacific.

I have a Bachelor of Commerce, a Master of Business Administration and a Post Graduate Diploma in Economics. I have worked in marketing, human resources and quality management positions in both the public and private sector and have lectured on organisational strategy. Since 2011, I have volunteered as a member of the Assurance panel for the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, a United Nations initiative that established and manages sustainable standards across six continents. I have also been a member of the National Leadership Team since July 2018, when Lifemark became a division of CCS Disability Action.

I have two children and am married to Kathryn, a criminal barrister who specialises in the Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Court at the Waitakere District Court.

My focus is on business improvement, leadership and developing partnerships that drive change and make a difference.
