About Me
“Experienced director and governance chair with 20+ years spanning kaupapa Māori, education, innovation, and public good sectors. I bring a steady, future-focused lens to boardrooms — combining strategic clarity with strong cultural fluency and digital confidence. Currently serving as Chair of UUNZ Institute of Business, I also hold governance roles with EIMS and the Indo Pacific Charitable Trust. My background includes operational leadership, business ownership, AI innovation, and social return evaluation. I’ve supported digital equity and whānau capability through automation, reporting, and values-led planning. Certified in governance (IoD, Hinengākau) and SROI, I believe in governance that serves people, protects purpose, and grows sustainable value. 👉 Board inquiries welcome | Auckland-based | Juanita@helgco.com”
