Olivia Blaylock: Icehouse CEO on the Ignite Growth Summit, small and medium businesses in New Zealand
About this episode
The Icehouse is celebrating 25 years of powering Kiwi business growth.
They’re a non-profit dedicated to training and mentoring the small to medium enterprises that make up 97% of New Zealand’s economy.
And today is their Ignite Growth Summit, in which they bring together legendary founders who have gone from the garage to the global stage to inspire the next wave of business talent.
CEO Olivia Blaylock told Kerre Woodham there are so many great businesses around New Zealand, and while some, like Pic’s, are well known, there are plenty that we don’t hear about.
She says we need to tell more of their stories and create a culture where it’s okay to put your hand up and say you’re doing well.
