Air Vice-Marshal Tony Davies is the new Chief of the New Zealand Defence Force.

Air Vice-Marshal Davies is currently Vice Chief of Defence Force, a role he has held since 2018. He has been a career officer in the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) since joining the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) in 1984.

Air Vice-Marshal Davies has been appointed for three years from 6 June, when he will also be promoted to Air Marshal.

“Air Vice-Marshal Davies is a well-respected, strategic leader who will uphold the highest standards of professionalism and capability. He is well positioned to achieve an integrated defence force that is more connected, coordinated and agile,” said Judith Collins the Minister for Defence.

“I also thank the outgoing Chief of Defence Force, Air Marshal Kevin Short, for his dedicated service."
