Kia ora,
I’m thrilled to introduce myself as the new Executive Director of BlockchainNZ. Joining at such a pivotal time for blockchain innovation and adoption, I’m eager to work alongside you—visionary members, innovators, and leaders—to shape the future of blockchain in New Zealand and beyond.
My professional journey has been centred on driving impactful change through emerging technologies. With experience leading initiatives in AI, Web3, and digital transformation, I’m passionate about creating sustainable ecosystems where businesses, developers, and consumers thrive. At BlockchainNZ, my focus is on fostering collaboration across industries, advocating for blockchain-friendly policies, and showcasing the incredible talent and innovation coming from Aotearoa.
As we continue to see blockchain’s potential to redefine industries like finance, supply chain, energy, and gaming, my goal is to ensure New Zealand is at the forefront—building trust, transparency and opportunity in this dynamic space.
I’m excited to hear your ideas and perspectives as we shape the next chapter together. Let’s connect, innovate and lead the way in unlocking the power of blockchain!
As we look ahead to 2025, blockchain’s impact across diverse sectors, including finance, biotech, AI and more – will be central to shaping our future. Across the NZTech Group our flagship events highlight the increasing importance of blockchain in revolutionising industries, and creating new opportunities for innovation across Aotearoa.
Have your say! There’s still time to help shape the future of BlockchainNZ. If you haven’t already, we’d love to hear from you in our quick member survey. Your feedback is key to guiding the Executive Council as we address your needs, priorities and the opportunities and challenges facing our community. The survey closes today, so please take a moment to share your thoughts.
And of course… congratulations to last night’s winners at the 2024 Web3NZ + Blockchain NZ Awards. Learn more.
