Meg Smith
Business Innovation & Growth Team Lead
Ngāpuhi, Waikato Tainui Ko Meg Smith tōku ingoa.
He uri tēnei nō Te Tai Tokerau.
I grew up in Whangārei and have had the opportunity to live and work overseas. Returning home to Te Tai Tokerau has been a conscious choice, and I am so grateful to be raising my family here.
As Growth Advisor Team Lead, I help Northland businesses access resources they need to grow with confidence. Working alongside a skilled team of advisors and service providers, our collective focus is on helping whānau, hapū, and communities thrive.
I bring a strong AI and technology background, with experience at Google and Microsoft and as the author of a book on creating business value with AI. I have also co‑founded a tech export company, giving me a strong understanding of the challenges facing small businesses.
My purpose is to help businesses amplify impact, strengthen decision‑making, and create sustainable value.
I love travelling and exploring new places. As they've got older, I have been enjoying discovering Aotearoa with my tamariki.
