Show Notes
Getting tipsy at work in the course of duty, crushing it in the STEM space, and leading one of Northland’s most innovative companies.
In this week’s episode of the True North podcast we publish the second in our ‘Northern Lights’ series of chats with unexpected Northlanders. We speak with Fiona Bycroft, CEO of Whangarei firm Naut, about the intriguing tale that saw a shy, retiring schoolgirl from down the line become one of Northland’s most colourful and extroverted business leaders.
And her determination to get Northland firms to learn more about each other – what we do, where our expertise lies, and how we can work together to help each other grow.
Because the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
