Jennah Wootten has officially begun her tenure as CEO of Netball NZ, taking over the role at a crucial time for the sport. 

She’s entering the job with extensive experience in New Zealand sport and major events, including leading Aktive, the World Masters Games, and holding senior roles with Sport NZ and the 2011 Rugby World Cup. 

But there’s no shortage of issues waiting for her – including the future of the country’s domestic competition.  

She told Piney the ANZ Premiership is a hugely important part of the high-performance system for netball, and challenges have been building over time. 

But, Wootten says, work is underway to find a long-term solution they know will be financially sustainable for the future.
