WAYNE BAIRD

Over the past 30 years Wayne has been a senior executive and business owner in a wide range of industries. These include manufacturing, engineering, infrastructure, IT and telecommunications. He brings this wealth of knowledge, experience and diversity to The Alternative Board. His time as the chairman of one of New Zealand’s fastest growing ICT companies and being on the Board of an exciting new Start-up company means he has a very good handle on both Governance and management of businesses alike. “Business is all about the people. When you find what their passion and drive really is, and can truly connect them with that, then the magic begins. Whether it’s a client, their team members, their customers or a supplier the key is to ask awesome questions and help them understand what it is they really believe in and love doing,” says Wayne. Wayne has worked in many industries and large companies throughout the country and has an extensive network of key influencers and business leaders that spans the globe. As far as Wayne is concerned, the right answer is only one phone call away. Wayne’s drive and enthusiasm to work with talented and genuine people and help them achieve their goals has been a hallmark of his success to date. +64 021 273 9496 [email protected]
