Marise has worked with Māori and non-Māori, indigenous and non-indigenous groups internationally;  across public and private health and social entities, within governance, operations and investment roles.  Her ultimate aim is to realise a vision where any Māori child is capable of achieving their hopes and aspirations, and premises that free and full participation in economic environments is essential to realising wellbeing.

With experience as a management accountant for Fulton Hogan; Major Māori Accounting Firm Glen Hawkins Associates; and now Māori Mental Health & Social Service provider Tipu Ora and Te Utuhina Manaakitanga Trust in Rotorua; Brad brings a wealth of relevant management accounting experience to support the tikanga and aspirations of Te Pūtahi-Nui-o-Rehua.

Carrie serves on several local, national, and international boards, bringing an Indigenous perspective to international trade, economic research, and advocacy. She founded her business, OpinioNative, to elevate Indigenous Peoples' knowledge and perspectives in global forums and is about to embark on her PhD in Indigenous Trade and Economies.
