Global Kiwi network Kea has launched its first branch on domestic soil in Auckland. Around 500 Kea supporters and members gathered to wet the fledgling’s head and listen to addresses from notable Keas.
Kea founder Sir Stephen Tindall acknowledged New Zealand success stories but warned that they are not sufficient for future prosperity. He pointed out that we export too much of our talent and our future wellbeing depends on attracting some of that talent back here. To that end he admonished supporters to get behind this Kea initiative which is to help repatriate returning expats and new migrants into Auckland business and its networks.
World Class New Zealander Award Winner in 2006, Brent Hansen, former CEO of MTV International, was keynote speaker at the event, describing his experience in music television, beginning with New Zealand’s Radio with Pictures.
Kea says it is also looking to establish similar offices in other parts of the country.
