Removing Wealth Barriers with Brooke Roberts 

Brooke Roberts is a New Zealand entrepreneur and businesswoman. She is a co-founder of the micro-investing platform Sharesies. Roberts was the joint winner of the 2020 New Zealand Women of Influence Award in the Business Enterprise section.

Roberts grew up in Auckland, Mount Maunganui and the United States. She started her career in Wellington, working in finance, product and marketing roles at AJ Park, Kiwibank and Xero.

In 2017, Roberts and six others co-founded Sharesies as an investment platform for New Zealanders.

Sharesies exists to make investing easy and accessible. Before, investing was too hard, too complex, and too damned scary for too many. Deciding to build an accessible digital investment platform was a no-brainer. 

Now, over 575,000 people are using Sharesies in Aotearoa and Australia. They are continuing to break down the barriers to investing for more Kiwis, and create new ways to help people develop their wealth.
