Early 2024 was an uncertain time for New Zealand business. I pitched Kea's chief executive a panel that would give the Kea community useful insight and a reason for optimism. The idea was backed straight away, and tickets sold out fast.
I chose three speakers for their different views: ASB chief economist Nick Tuffley on market conditions and the outlook, company director Helen Robinson on leading businesses through past downturns, and futurist Roger Dennis on the big trends ahead. The conversation covered the economy, sustainable practice and technology, including the rise of AI.
I produced the evening and hosted it, interviewing the panel live and running the Q&A for more than 40 guests: established business leaders alongside start-ups and scale-ups from Kea Connect, Kea's programme for Kiwi companies going global. I also briefed the written and social content around it.
The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and Kea's partners were very pleased with the engagement.
