Simon Green

Over the past 20 years Simon Green has earned a reputation as a professional, intelligent, honest and well-respected member of the Queenstown business community. Career highlights include roles as Marketing Projects Manager for one of the region's largest tourism operators (Real Journeys), General Manager Sales and Marketing for Alpine Gold (beverage company) and 7 years as Director of the renowned Queenstown Winter Festival. As a business consultant and contractor he was engaged as international co-ordinator for Leading Mountain Resorts of the World, he completed a strategic marketing audit for Destination Queenstown, wrote the new events strategy for Queenstown Lakes District Council and provided business development, branding and sales advice for a host of major local businesses and tourism operators. An experienced marketer, in 2007 Simon developed and co-managed a dedicated apartment and lifestyle investment division for a local Queenstown real estate agency, maximizing the profile and representation of this sector of Queenstown's property market. He worked alongside major property developers, directing and implementing marketing and sales campaigns both domestically and off shore, managed relationships with management companies and financial institutions and co-ordinated the collective marketing of over 100 individual investment properties in the Queenstown market. More recently Simon has been working alongside the developers of The Rees Hotel, managing the final sell down of over 20 existing apartments while also bringing to market the new luxury lakefront development – The Residences – featuring 5 lakefront villas and 4 luxury apartments. It was during this process that Simon identified a continued lack of expert representation in this sector of the property market and this became the catalyst for what is now "IQ" and the rest, as they say, is history.
