Forget the ingredients touted as necessary to make a little girl in the age-old nursery rhyme, What Are

Little Boys Made Of? To be a woman business leader, you need to have more than a pinch of resilience and

a dash of tenacity. This is because although the country has made big strides when it comes to inclusivity,

there’s still work to do before true equality is reached. Take the recent 2019 MYOB Women In Tech Report,

which found nearly half of the industry’s women leaders have personally experienced gender bias during

their career, just a quarter of local technology businesses have equal representation in their leadership

teams and only one in ten tech businesses work to actively address discrimination. Katie Byrne talks

candidly to six women leading in New Zealand tech – Metia Interactive’s Maru Nihoniho, Beyond’s Jessica

Manins, Banqer’s Kendall Flutey, Sharesies’ Brooke Roberts and Sonya Williams and Trade Me’s Diana

Minnee – about carving their career paths, overcoming personal challenges and finding grit. »
