15 Robyn Shearer: Deputy Director-General, Mental Health & Addiction

Collective Intelligence

Until this interview, I’d never spoken to a CEO with an annual budget of $1.9 billion dollars before! The very humble Robyn Shearer heads up Aotearoa’s new Wellbeing Budget – a world first that puts people above everything else. Robyn started her career as a nurse and has worked on the frontline of mental health for many years. I was intrigued to learn how she was coping with this huge role and felt very privileged that she took the time to share her story with me. Robyn chose our sponsor’s (Te Awanga Estate) 2016 ‘Red Planet’ Pinot Noir.
