I’m Reremoana Ormsby, and I bring a unique perspective shaped by my upbringing in te ao Māori, rooted in our traditions, values, and community. I have a deep understanding of the balance between leadership and rangatiratanga, recognising the importance of guiding others with wisdom, respect, and integrity. I’m passionate about the growth of Māori within corporate spaces and the promotion of our visibility at senior leadership tables.
Before joining Updraft, I worked in the culture and heritage sector, which has given me valuable experiences and insights that I bring to this role. Over my journey, I’ve seen how powerful our culture, heritage, and storytelling can be. This has shaped how I approach coaching and supporting others.
My goal is to bridge the gap between te ao Māori and the corporate world, offering guidance and support to Māori professionals navigating the complexities of modern leadership.
I’m excited to be on this journey with you, working towards a more inclusive and equitable Aotearoa.
