Voyager Internet has revealed that its founder, Seeby Woodhouse, will resume the role of chief executive officer starting 1 October 2025.
The company describes this as “a significant new chapter” in its development.
“This is very much a next chapter, not a reset,” Woodhouse said.
“Voyager has strong momentum, and my focus will be on building on the existing strategy and continuing to deliver great outcomes for our customers and partners.”
The leadership transition comes after the exit of current CEO Deidre Steyn, who has been with Voyager for over seven years and has served as chief executive since February 2024.
Woodhouse acknowledged Steyn’s valuable contribution to the company.
“She has made a real difference and leaves the business in a stronger position. While we are sad to see her go, we’re proud that a global company like AWS has recognised her world-class talent. On behalf of the Voyager team and our customers, I wish her every success in this exciting next chapter.”
Meanwhile, Steyn described leading Voyager as “an absolute privilege.”
“I am incredibly proud of the momentum we’ve built together and the way the team has continued to put customers at the heart of everything we do,” she said. “While it is bittersweet to be moving on, I know Voyager is in great hands with Seeby returning as CEO.”
Voyager confirmed that its strategic direction stays the same, continuing to prioritise cloud, communication, connectivity, and cybersecurity services for businesses throughout New Zealand.
