TalentNZ: Join the TalentNZ Network
Before moving to New Zealand in 2002, Raf worked as an investment banker in London. Today Raf is the founder of the Sustento Institute, a Christchurch-based policy development organisation, and Chair of the Volunteer Army Foundation. He is also currently working on a proposal for an open visa, to encourage young talented people to work in New Zealand. Most recently, Raf has become an elected member of Christchurch City Council.
Visit the TalentNZ website to read Raf’s full summary, learn more about the initiative and to join the TalentNZ Network.
The TalentNZ initiative builds on the thinking of Sir Paul Callaghan who envisioned New Zealand as ‘a place where talent wants to live’. Through our Sir Paul Callaghan Science Meets Humanities Scholarship two young scholarship recipients asked 30 Kiwis seven questions, resulting in 210 ideas. The project aims to further the concept of moving New Zealand towards a talent-based economy.
