After almost 15 years straddling the world and NZ, the time is right for us to truly come home. A big draw card is to help and support you in any way possible. Your fresh leadership is a reason enough. How do we figure out how I can best serve you and New Zealand? I have a lot of ideas and I think I can be very useful. How do we get together to explore what’s possible? Derek 4/24/18 5:15 AM (Viewed 4/24/18 8:41 AM) Jacinda Ardern (6 Hey Derek! Great to hear you're coming home!

When will you be back? 4/24/18 9:09 AM DGH Unlocked iPhone 5s (+1 Moving quickly. Currently selling up our homes in NY and extricating from everything. Bought a house in Titirangi in Feb! Plan is is to do one final US summer - so home by Aug/Sept? I’ll be in NZ in May for a week then the next flight back will be the final “return”. Will cry on landing. This much I know. Almost crying writing this text! We can’t wait to come home. 🏡 🏖 Message sent originally as iMessage and failed.

In the meantime I'll talk to the team about how we can make use of you and your kind offer. Have you had some thoughts on this already? 4/24/18 10:54 AM DGH Unlocked iPhone 5s (+1 Ok we can shoot for catch up when back. Yes I’ve had a few thoughts. Can I put them on paper and email them to you? 4/24/18 11:05 AM DGH Unlocked iPhone 5s (+1 Also. A number of people have urged me to seriously consider this CTO thing - esp after first round didn’t move ahead. I think that role is more about society than technology so I’m not sure the average CIO or CTO is the answer. 4/25/18 9:33 AM DGH Unlocked iPhone 5s (+1 Pm, What is best email to send you a note w some starter thoughts?

How’s Derek Handley <​ Ideas x Baby x CTO Derek Handley ​<​ ​> Thu, Jun 7, 2018 at 1:22 PM To: Jacinda ​ Hello! So close to the baby arriving! Then….POP. It’ll be out before you know it :-) So exciting. About a month ago we were texting back and forth, I said I really wanted to put some ideas to you as to how I could be of service. In my mind I had started to develop thoughts ranging from Davos to our links to China’s new economy. Things I think I can pull together and work on from the edges of Govt. Listed some samples below. But here is where I have landed: over the course of May I was approached by an increasing number of people I really respect, to strongly consider applying for the CTO role. I had never thought about it seriously - mostly probably because the recruiting started last year when we had not decided about moving back home, I wasn’t paying attention. I thought very long and deeply about it, and in the end, I concluded that for now I genuinely believe the most service I could be to you and New Zealand is actually in that role. I think I could really do it amazingly well. So on the weekend I submitted an application. In that light, let’s see how that process pans out independently - whatever happens will be the right thing. But if that role isn’t in the stars, then I would LOVE to meet up in September and revisit some ideas and thinking when my wife and I are back in New Zealand! I’m so keen to come home and help you. I have such unique and weird skills and networks around the world - I want to put them to work and help so much. Be well. dh Sample of Thoughts ​> ● Designing an impactful and surprising Davos presence ​ ● Alternative to this: New Zealand could design a new model for a Davos type global collective to shape/steer thinking for our generation ​ ● Asia summit x New Economy ​ ● Govt x Sustainability ● Global next-generation wealth-holder/change-makers ​
