Introducing Speaker One - Hon. Ruth Richardson

Whether bringing down walls in New Zealand politics, leading some of our most innovative businesses, or mentoring emerging talent, Ruth Richardson has always remained clear about her motivations and goals.

“I have three great causes in life. Nation building – which is why I went into politics. Business building – because the size and shape of a country’s economy depends on the performance of its businesses. And family – because that’s the one thing on which everything else is built.”
