Julia Pahina has spent a decade asking the question New Zealand's business community is only just starting to sit with: growth for whom, and at what cost? As founder of Fibre Fale and member of the WEF Global Futures Council on AI and Humanity, she has engaged 24,000+ people and reached five million online building AI literacy across Aotearoa and the Pacific. Named a 2026 She Shapes AI Global Awards Finalist for AI & Thought Leadership, she advises the NZ Human Rights Commission on AI and emerging technologies and serves on the University of Auckland Council. Her career has spanned Aotearoa, the US, the UK, and Africa. She is not here to slow the conversation down. She is here to ensure it goes somewhere worthwhile.
