Izzy Fenwick
Conference Facilitator
After the passing of her father the late Sir Rob Fenwick, one of New Zealand’s leading environmentalists and businessmen, Izzy dedicated herself to continuing his mission to protect and restore Aotearoa for future generations.
Stepping into some of her father’s circles, Izzy saw the drastic imbalance of who was being represented, and the missed opportunity for intergenerational insight and impact. Being from another generation, Izzy’s experiences and expectations were inherently different from others in the space which created more robust conversations about potential initiatives, priorities, and impact. Izzy saw an opportunity in this blended intergenerational approach to connect more rangatahi change makers with current decision makers to accelerate the transitions needed for organisations to reflect multi-generational interests and equity . With this in mind, she founded FENWICK - a recruitment and talent management agency that establishes rangatahi advisory assets for leading organisations.
Izzy is also a Guardian of The Aotearoa Circle - in her role on the board as Emerging Director - an organisation that brings together public and private sector leaders in the pursuit of sustainable prosperity and reversing the decline of New Zealand’s natural resources. Previously, Izzy was the Sustainability Design Principal for DNA, helping organisations start or accelerate the transition to a sustainable Aotearoa by reviewing and redesigning operations, services, products and more.
