Who Knows Who
Cross-platform network intelligence showing how NZ governance leaders are connected. Two people are linked when they serve together on the same charity board, NZX company, public sector agency, or iwi entity. Stronger connections indicate more shared entities.
Connections reflect current governance positions from official registers. Shared board positions do not imply coordination, personal relationships, or conflicts of interest.

About this network: This visualization maps the “who knows who” of New Zealand governance. Two people are connected when they currently serve together on the same entity — whether a charity board, NZX company, public sector agency, or iwi governance body. Node color indicates primary platform: indigo = charity, blue = NZX, slate = public sector, red = iwi, amber = multi-platform (3+ sectors). Line thickness reflects the number of shared entities. Data from official registers including Charities Services, NZX company announcements, Te Kawa Mataaho, and iwi governance records.
Data sourced from Charities Services, NZX announcements, Te Kawa Mataaho, Companies Office. Our datasets may not be complete. Automated analysis can produce errors. If you believe any data on this page is incorrect, please contact us at hello@charitydata.co.nz.
