My fellow Kiwi members have supported me in a number of crucial business decisions over the years, including a key operational restructure I implemented in my early days in New Zealand as CEO. New Zealand and the UK have similar, yet different corporate frameworks, particularly when it comes to employment law. I was in the deep end at the time, but my TEC group offered insight on different approaches and reassurance that I was taking a sensible path.

In our group, we are undoubtedly driven with respect for each other's positions and success, but we also challenge each other when needed. It’s a balance – it punches you when you need it and keeps you on your toes.

This is the beauty of TEC – your fellow members don’t have skin in the game like you do. They are your experts and sounding boards who force you to think outside the box, expand your mind and ultimately achieve successes you might not have on your own accord.
