OUR TEAM

Invest and grow with us

Te haumi, te tipu tahi rānei me mātau.

Invest New Zealand is located all around the world, offering a breadth of expertise.

Our team is focused on contributing to the country’s economic growth, productivity and development.  We have a dual role: to help investors discover investment opportunities within Aotearoa New Zealand, and connect New Zealand businesses with the knowledge and networks they need to raise capital.

To do this, our team – based in Australia, East Asia, the United States, Europe, Greater China and of course New Zealand – uses their deep commercial and financial expertise, and their global network to match investors with the right opportunities.

Being the New Zealand Government's investment agency means we are in a strong position to help investors and companies navigate investment and regulatory processes. Additionally, we will work across government on necessary reforms to attract more overseas investment.

When you work with us, you are working with a well-connected, impartial team that is focused on supporting well-prepared deals that are good for investors, businesses and New Zealand – driven by what we call kaitiakitanga, or care of people and place.

Meet some of our people below. We hope to hear from you soon.
