It was a pleasure to meet with the Pacific Business Trust‘s new Chief Executive, Mary Los’e. With a strong background in both corporate and government leadership roles, Mary has already made good progress for the Pacific Business Trust (PBT), a role she started in February 2023. The Waikato Pacific Business Network (WPBN) look forward to working closely with PBT, under Mary’s leadership and vision, to help support our Pacific businesses and economic development in the Waikato.
The Pacific Business Trust is the National Pacific economic development agency of New Zealand and is a free, confidential and personalised service. PBT focuses on growing innovation, supporting talent and leadership through customised business programmes and services.
