Boucher, also a former Tall Black, retired from the Breakers' playing roster three years ago and has worked since then as the club's commercial manager.
He replaces long-serving general manager Richard Clarke, who is moving on to a new role with the Brisbane Bullets as they return to the NBL next season.
Clarke will be joining former Breakers coach Andrej Lemanis and point guard CJ Bruton at the club.
