Professional Board Director: Caren Rangi, ONZM 2018, FCA The Kia Orana Podcast

    • Leisure

Kia Orana,

Which comes first, the story or the statement? When you’re trying to navigate and implement ethical influence practices into your business  or passion processes, I believe the best way to start is with a story.

Our episode today is with Cook Islander Caren Rangi, Governance practitioner, facilitator, community connector. Creating strong networks in the Pacific.

Professional Board Director for the last 16 years. 
Caren Rangi, ONZM - Officers of the New Zealand Order of Merit 2018, FCA - Fellow Chartered Accountant.

Born in suburban Christchurch during a time where there were few Cook Islanders in Canterbury, New Zealand. Caren grew up learning about her heritage and culture through storytelling and Cook Islands, hula ‘ura’ dance.

Caren, makes many statements in this episode as she narrates and interweaves them into her natural storytelling. “We’ve got to VALUE ourselves before we can get other people to VALUE us!”, she says.  Another one Caren says is, “I like being at a decision meeting table”!

Challenges: “The Buck stops with you, You carry the risks”.

Caren draws on her own extensive experience in governance roles on not-for-profit, government and private boards. She is proud of her Cook Islands Maori heritage, and brings that lens to the range of board tables that she serves at.

As at recording Caren is currently a board member of Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and Radio New Zealand, director of Pacific Cooperation Broadcasting Ltd and Pacific Inc, and Chair of Pacific Homecare Services. Including also a director of the Cook Islands Investment Corporation in Rarotonga….. “Bit of a mixed bag with a strong focus on broadcasting,” Caren says.

Thank you and Meitaki to our guest Caren Rangi, it has been a genuine pleasure and I am grateful to you sharing your knowledge and story with me today.


Thank you to our listeners for tuning in. This is a passion project for me and I appreciate you all listening into our Cook Islands stories. 


No konei ia matou, aro’a iatu kia kotou katoatoa.
