Through Shifts and Shocks Wellington Book Launch and Leadership Event
Join us at Unity Books Wellington for an inspiring evening with two of New Zealand’s most accomplished business leaders—Steve Vamos and Brooke Roberts. Steve, a seasoned executive and former Xero CEO, brings decades of leadership experience across global technology companies. His new book, Through Shifts and Shocks, explores the most important attributes of leading organisations and teams in fast changing times. In conversation with Brooke, the Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Sharesies, they’ll dive into the challenges, insights, and lessons that shape business success today.
Steve has led teams through major industry shifts, helping companies navigate complexity and change. His book distills years of experience into practical strategies for making better decisions, staying resilient, and leading with purpose. Brooke, a trailblazer in fintech, has revolutionised investment access in New Zealand. She understands what it takes to build and lead a fast-growing company while staying true to a bold mission.
Together, they’ll share candid stories about the leadership challenges they’ve faced, the mindset shifts that have helped them grow, what they’ve learnt, and you'll have the opportunity to ask questions. Whether you're an aspiring leader, an entrepreneur, or someone navigating change in your career, this discussion will give you valuable insights you can apply right away.
The evening will conclude with drinks, canopes and networking where you’ll have the chance to meet Steve and take home a signed copy of Through Shifts and Shocks. This event is free but capacity is limited so please register to secure your spot.
