This month's topic: From Surf to Start-Up: The Moana Road Journey with Paul Ballentyne

‍

Event Description:

Join us for an inspiring and candid talk with Paul Ballentyne, the visionary behind the successful Kiwi lifestyle brand, Moana Road.  In this session, Paul will share his entrepreneurial journey, beginning with his days as an economics teacher at Wellington College and a stint in property development, through to launching Moana Road in 2008 in the wake of the global financial crisis and keeping the business thriving even in uncertain times.

Learn how Paul transformed his love for Aotearoa’s natural beauty, nostalgic Kiwiana, and road trip culture into a growth business that now supplies retailers across New Zealand and ten countries overseas. He will discuss the challenges of building a brand during economic uncertainty, navigating the tourism market through COVID-19, and the creative process behind Moana Road’s iconic product range—from sunglasses to playing cards.

Whether you're a business owner, leader or entrepreneur, or simply curious about the story behind one of New Zealand’s most recognizable labels, this talk offers a rare glimpse into the grit, creativity, and aroha that fuel Moana Road.
