No stranger to Toi Tangata, Leonie believes true partnership between the western world and te ao Māori can help to achieve prosperity. Having held leadership roles in both Iwi and the government sector, her career started in kaupapa Māori public health spanning service design, research, and innovation before moving into indigenous enterprise development with her Iwi, community development, and impact investment. An artist, a korokoro tui, a kaikaranga, pretty much the original MC’s of our ao Māori. Ihi rangaranga probably best captures Leonie as she jams taonga puoro or the love of music, soul, hip-hop and rnb those beautiful vibrations ooze from this wahine toa in all settings.
