Oceania Healthcare is a leading provider of healthcare services in New Zealand.
Brent Pattison first joined Oceania as Chief Financial Officer in January 2020 and brings over a decade of experience in investment banking, leading mergers and acquisitions, takeovers and capital market transactions. Brent also worked closely with Oceania Healthcare on its IPO back in May 2017.
Brent is a qualified chartered accountant and has held senior executive roles in New Zealand corporations, including the telecommunications and financial service industries.
“Brent has made a significant contribution to both the strategic direction and the performance of Oceania Healthcare over the last 15 months in his role as Chief Financial Officer,” said Oceania Health’s Chair, Liz Coutts.
“He has the full trust of both the Board and the Executive Leadership team and has built a strong reputation with the investment community. We know his appointment will be well received by both the market and importantly, our people.”
Brent Pattison says he feels excited to lead the Oceania Healthcare team into its next stage of growth.
“I am passionate about transforming the retirement living and aged care experience in New Zealand, putting our residents at the heart of all that we do.”
Brent succeeds Earl Gasparich, who first joined Oceania in August 2014. Gasparich announced his resignation earlier this month, after accepting the role of CEO of New Zealand-based retirement village provider Metlifecare.
