Graeme Hart

From unlikely beginnings lacking both formal education and capital, to building New Zealand’s largest private business group, receiving a prestigious university doctorate and consistently achieving top place on the wealth creators scoreboard, commerce has always been part of Graeme Hart’s DNA.

Building an industrial group culminating in revenue exceeding $20 billion, and some 40,000 employees across circa 400 facilities in 50 countries – combining leverage capital with calculated risk and great people has been Hart’s platform for success.

Hart has an audacious entrepreneurial spirit, preferring risk over mediocrity, is family-centric, philanthropic and quick to credit those contributing to his success.
