Māori Innovation

Shaping a future of prosperity and equity

E nga mana, nga reo, e nga karangatanga ō te motu

Tihei wa mauri ora. 

E tu ana te manu i tōku maunga ō Hikurangi, ki runga i te pakihiwi ā Maui tikitiki.

Ka titiro whakararo ki tōku awa ō Waiapu e rere kau ana ki te moana nui-a-kiwa. Kei reira tōku waka ō Horouta e tau ana.

Ka huri tōku mata ki tōku marae ō Rāhui. Ko te wahi nohia ai e ōku tipuna.

Ka rere te manu ki Te Tai Tokerau. I āwhina rātou te manu. I whāngai rātou ki tēnei manu ki raro i te maunga ō Motatau. Kei raro i te korowai ō Ngāti Hine, Te Orewai.

Nā Ngāti Hine raua ko Ngāti Porou i whanake ai i tēnei manu. 

Kei Tāmaki Makaurau ahau e noho ana.

Ko Tash Puketapu ahau.  

As the Māori Innovation Strategy Lead at Callaghan Innovation, I am committed to leveraging my expertise and experience to drive positive change and enhance the quality of life for our mokopuna.

With a background in Talent Acquisition, Strategy Development, and Project Delivery within the Public Sector, I'm driven by the vision of uplifting the economic success of Māori and addressing historical inequities.

I believe in the power of business as a vehicle for Māori to create intergenerational wealth, fostering a future where prosperity and equity are not just aspirations but realities.
