Another CEO cashes out with a golden handshake while the rest of us struggle to pay for overpriced mobile plans. Classic.

Nick Judd, the CFO? So they just promoted the guy who's been cooking the books to keep shareholders happy. Great.

Wait, is this the same Jason Paris who was on The Spinoff saying 5G would fix everything? Guess he didn't want to be around when it didn't.

Mason Young2026-07-01T00:14:28.000Z

if he fixed 5G hype, he's done enough damage. bye Jason.

I remember when One NZ was called Vodafone and actually had decent customer service. Now it's just another corporate shell.

Hope the new CEO actually cares about rural coverage. We're still stuck with dial-up speeds out here.

NZ Herald2026-07-01T00:25:28.000Z

mate rural coverage? They can't even get 4G in the city half the time.

Anyone else find it hilarious that the CFO is taking over? Because obviously the problem was the CEO, not the pricing strategy.

River Cole2026-07-01T00:50:28.000Z

exactly, pricing is a joke. Same with the rest of the duopoly.

Good on Jason, eight years is a long time in that role. Hope he enjoys his break before the next gig.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-01T01:04:28.000Z

I hope so too, but not holding my breath.

One NZ shares up 2% on the news. Says it all. The market loves change even if it means jack.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-01T01:34:28.000Z

lol yeah shares up means nothing for us customers.

Sky Murphy2026-07-01T01:02:28.000Z

I bet the new guy is just there to oversee the merger with 2degrees or whatever is next. Watch this space.
