Tribe Leadership Executive Search are thrilled to announce the appointment of Luke Weston as the new CEO at Rhema Media.
Established in 1966, Rhema Media has become a cornerstone of Christian broadcasting in New Zealand.
Rhema Media operates three radio stations (Rhema, Life FM, and Star) which caters to diverse audiences through uplifting music, inspirational messages, and thought-provoking discussions. Beyond radio, Rhema Media extends its reach through digital and TV platforms, podcasts, and community events, fostering connection and spiritual growth nationwide.
Stepping into a role that has had previous long tenure can be a nervous time for a Board and staff alike. However, as an existing member of Rhema’s SLT, Luke brings to the CEO role a proven track record of supporting the ministry coupled with intricate knowledge of current offerings to their passionate and devoted audience. Luke’s forward-thinking approach to digital platforms, including podcasts and video content, positions him to drive innovation and enhance Rhema’s outreach in an era of significant media change with listening audience. His strong skills in relationship building and communication will be invaluable as he leads this ministry towards a vibrant, global, digital future.
"Working with Tribe during my CEO recruitment process was an exceptional experience. Their team, particularly David Hammond, provided invaluable support and guidance every step of the way. David’s insight and dedication were instrumental in navigating the complexities of the process, and his understanding of both my personal and professional aspirations was remarkable. Tribe’s approach is not just about filling a position; it’s about finding the right fit for both the candidate and the organisation. I am incredibly grateful for their expertise and support, and I highly recommend Tribe to anyone seeking a recruitment partner that truly cares about their success." Luke Weston, CEO, Rhema Media
This search was successfully led by David Hammond, Tribe Leadership Executive Search Lead, who worked closely with Rhema Media's Board throughout the search.
