3 minutes to read Sir William Gallagher, a name synonymous with one of New Zealand s few true global companies, is to step aside from leadership of the Gallagher Group, which is to get a 24-year company veteran as its new chief executive.
Kahl Betham, deputy chief executive and former global general manager for Gallagher s burgeoning security technology international business, is to take over from Gallagher as chief executive of the $300 million revenue Hamilton-based company.
The group flagged two years ago leadership changes would be coming, and in April 2019 Gallagher stepped aside as executive chairman to become an executive director, but retained the job of chief executive.
