This week, we meet tech entrepreneur and philanthropist Annette Presley.

Annette started her first business at 24, co-founded one of New Zealand’s earliest internet providers, Slingshot, took on Telecom in the early 2000s (and won), and was made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to business and women.

Her latest mission? To support women and children through health, education, leadership, and wellbeing programmes via the Annette Presley Dream Foundation.
