Kahurangi Malcolm is part of the team at Amotai who are playing a significant role in the growth of the Māōri economy. Through her role as Manuhuia (Relationship Manager), she’s uplifting and supporting pākihi Māori by connecting them with clients and buyers across the country.

There are more than 10,000 registered Māori businesses here in Aotearoa offering a diverse range of services and products. Supporting pākihi Māori is essential to the wellbeing of te iwi Māori. When Māori enterprises thrive, so too do whānau, iwi and hapū.

This is part of our new reo Māori series, Ohinga, created by Mahi Tahi Media, with funding from Te Māngai Pāho.
