Chief Technology Officer
Contact Energy
Tighe joined Contact in February 2020 to lead our mission to become the most digital energy company in New Zealand. In November 2024, Tighe was appointed to the role of Chief Technology Officer. It’s Tighe’s passion for the environment and drive for decarbonisation that lured him to the energy industry, starting at one of Europe’s largest energy companies, E.ON SE in Germany, where he led the group digital transformation programme. Prior he helped transform multi-nationals and large government agencies in Europe and the US as a leader in IBM's consulting organisation.
