On this keynote address Merryn Straker, Chief Operating Office and co-founder of Straker Translations, will share Straker Translations’ journey from a startup born in 1999 to listing on the ASX two years ago. Merryn will talk about aspirations for Straker Translations to shake up the world of language translation and create a hugely successful company… answering the question about how kiwis, as a nation of innovators and change agents ‘go big or go home’.

‘Go big or go home’ in a kiwi context

Tuesday Feb. 08 - 10:15am - 11:00am (45 min)

Global startup benchmarker, Startup Genome notes that kiwi founders score very highly when it comes to wanting to change the world, but that when it comes to choosing the size of the market we were going after, we were inclined to choose the smallest option. So what does ‘go big or go home’ look like in a kiwi context? AANZ’s Bridget Unsworth will set the context sharing last year’s survey insights. She will then moderate a panel to dig into how we liberate our ability to change the world.
