Rodney Young

Rodney is a Certified Internal Auditor and has been a member of the Institute of Internal Auditors since 2015. He brings with him more than 20 years’ experience in senior leadership roles in the New Zealand private and public sectors leading internal audit, risk, quality assurance and policy functions. Much of this experience has been situated in the tertiary education sector ranging from private industry training providers to large public vocational education organisations.

With a passion for learning, Rodney spent several years operating his own workplace education consultancy business and has invested much time and energy over the years completing a significant number of learning journeys, including a bachelor’s degree in marketing and international management, and masters’ degrees in both adult education and leadership communication.

With a focus on continuous development and challenging the norms around internal audit, Rodney advocates a pragmatic approach to internal audit practices that add measurable and meaningful value to organisations. The Institute of Internal Auditors would benefit greatly through Rodney’s significant experience in professional education leadership and internal audit in various organisation contexts to encourage fresh and innovative initiatives that make it easy for members to engage in relevant activities that encourage growth and development for them, their teams, their organisations, and their communities. Rodney is currently the GM of Risk and Assurance for the international technology company, Gallagher Group and would be honoured to use his unique skills, knowledge, and experience to contribute to the Board and the future of the profession.
