WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND (December 3, 2019) - Montoux offers heartfelt congratulations to its Chief Operating Officer Toni Moyes, who was recently appointed to the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) by New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

Montoux is immensely proud of Toni’s contributions and achievements at Montoux as well as her prior work. In addition to her work as Montoux’s COO, Toni is the co-creator of Leading Ladies, which supports women in leadership through peer mentoring groups and is paving the way for more women to hold leadership positions in business.
