The Circle is delighted to welcome Peter Mersi, Commissioner and Chief Executive at Inland Revenue, for an in-person Keynote Luncheon on Tuesday 23rd June. 

As Commissioner and Chief Executive of Inland Revenue, Peter Mersi leads one of New Zealand’s most critical public institutions at a time of significant economic and technological change. Responsible for tax policy delivery, compliance, system integrity and large-scale digital transformation, Inland Revenue plays a central role in enabling economic stability, productivity and public trust.

In this Dialogue, Peter will share his perspectives on Inland Revenue’s evolving operating environment, including the balance between regulation and growth, strengthening compliance while maintaining trust, and leveraging technology to modernise public service delivery. His insights into leading transformation at scale, navigating complexity across government and industry, and fostering confidence in the tax system will provide valuable lessons for senior leaders facing similar challenges in their own organisations.
