Andrew Watene – A Maori perspective on Alternative Proteins, Agriculture and Innovation.
As an associate director within performance consulting for KPMG he recently returned to New Zealand to join KPMG with over two decades experience in agribusiness and international markets having worked across the world while based in Singapore, Ireland and New Zealand.
Andrew is of Tūhoe descent and specialises in working with agribusiness clients, particularly those who identify as being Māori and export-orientated. In his role he is keen to apply his end-to-end international industry experience to enable opportunities for New Zealand’s primary industry, and in particular, the Māori sector.
