Former One NZ boss Jason Paris named as Les Mills CEO
Les Mills said its current leader Phillip Mills would move into a founder/director role.
Former One New Zealand chief executive Jason Paris has been appointed as CEO of fitness company Les Mills International, effective October 6th. Paris will assume the role from current leader Phillip Mills, who will transition into a founder/director position. Paris disclosed his departure from telecommunications firm One NZ in July after serving eight years in the top role.
Paris expressed his enthusiasm about joining Les Mills International and contributing to its growth, acknowledging the success built by Phillip, Jackie, and the Mills family over many decades. Paris led One NZ through significant changes, including a takeover by Infratil and a rebrand from Vodafone NZ to One NZ. He previously held senior positions at Spark and TVNZ.
Les Mills International, founded in 1968 by former New Zealand Olympian Les Mills, has gained worldwide popularity through its workouts. The company operates 12 gyms across New Zealand.
