Theresa Gattung CNZM has had a lifetime of leading. She’s one of New Zealand’s most successful business women and is constantly backing women and girls through @The Gattung Foundation and in her role as Chair of @Global Women. Where she sees need, she leads.

She made her mark in business as NZ’s first female CEO of an NZX listed company when she headed Telecom. She co-founded My Food Bag and has been and continues to be chair of many high stakes boards. Now she’s left the boardroom she gets to put her money and time wherever she wants. 

What she wants is to change the futures of the disadvantaged and disconnected girls of NZ. 

She tells Amanda Millar how she’s changing lives, why she’s been so successful, the things she prioritises to keep on top of life. She also reveals if she’s ever doubted herself.
