I am committed to the success of ICT in New Zealand and the role it plays as a facilitator of business and national economic success.”

As a member of the NZICT Board, Dell NZ Country Manager Mike Hill said he will aim to promote issues such as ICT in schools and ICT’s role in protecting the environment.
