Antoine Coffin

Senior Cultural Advisor, Tauranga
Ka hoki mai ki te kainga (coming home)

Antoine has returned to Boffa Miskell after working at Auckland War Memorial Museum, one of New Zealand’s most loved buildings for a couple of years.

Antoine had the opportunity to visit many famous museums around the world and develop experience in the governance, management and operational aspects of a large institution during the restructure of Auckland Councils. His key responsibilities in Auckland of stakeholder management, communications and Māori cultural practices and traditions will add to the rich skills and experience that Boffa Miskell already possesses.
