Chief Executive Officer

Chief Executive Officer | Hospitality and Holiday Property Specialist | Business Leader

25 YEARS IN HOSPITALITY, PROPERTY AND BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
PROGRESSED FROM REAL ESTATE SALESPERSON TO CEO UNDER THE SAME LEADERSHIP
HELPED EXPAND THE WORX INTO WELLINGTON, CHRISTCHURCH AND HAMILTON

 

Tim Konara is the Chief Executive Officer of The WORX, bringing 25 years of experience across hospitality management, real estate, property operations and business consultancy in New Zealand and Sri Lanka.

Tim joined Jeewan Delwalage and The WORX in 2020 as a real estate salesperson. Under the same leadership, he continued developing his skills, accepted greater responsibilities and progressed from salesperson to CEO.

Since his appointment as CEO, Tim has worked closely with Jeewan to expand The WORX beyond Auckland and establish its presence across Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton. He now leads the company’s wider operations, supporting its people, systems, service delivery and continued regional growth.

Drawing on his extensive hospitality experience, Tim is also Jeewan’s business partner in The WORX Holidays, leading the company’s Airbnb management, holiday home management and short-stay accommodation services.

Tim specialises in launching, transforming and managing Airbnb properties, holiday rentals, motels, hotels and serviced apartments. His experience covers the complete accommodation lifecycle—from planning, consent and pre-opening preparation to daily operations, guest management and long-term business performance.

By combining hospitality expertise with real estate and property knowledge, Tim develops tailored strategies designed to improve occupancy, operational efficiency, guest experience, market positioning and long-term profitability.

His approach extends beyond traditional property management. Tim assesses each property as both a real estate investment and an operating hospitality business, identifying practical opportunities to strengthen revenue and maximise the asset’s potential.

Whether an owner is launching a new Airbnb, converting a property into short-stay accommodation, improving an existing holiday rental or growing a wider accommodation portfolio, Tim focuses on creating efficient systems and commercially sustainable results.

As CEO, Tim leads The WORX operations across real estate sales, residential property management, Airbnb and short-stay management, holiday accommodation and property services.

His leadership is grounded in honesty, transparency and strong core values. Tim is prepared to make difficult decisions—and to say no when necessary—to protect long-term profitability and deliver sustainable outcomes for property owners, investors, business partners and other stakeholders.

For owners and investors seeking experienced Airbnb property management, holiday rental management, short-stay accommodation management or hospitality consultancy in New Zealand, Tim provides proven leadership, commercially focused advice and complete operational support.
