Founder | Kaiwhakatū

Vision. Purpose. Kaupapa.

I’m the founder and kaiwhakatū of this kaupapa, driven by a deep commitment to Māori advancement in the digital age. My background spans both te ao Māori and emerging technologies, and I saw the need for AI tools that reflect our values, protect our data, and empower our people.

My work bridges tradition and innovation. I believe Māori must lead the design, development, and governance of digital systems. Through this kaupapa, I’m creating space for iwi, hapū, and rangatahi to thrive in a future shaped by both mātauranga Māori and cutting-edge technology.

“Ko te ngākau Māori te pūtake o Ahotahi – he ara e whakakotahi ai te tangata, te taiao, me te mātauranga hei oranga mō ngā reanga katoa.”
At the heart of Ahotahi is a commitment to unify people, environment, and knowledge, guided by Māori values (matapono), for the wellbeing of present and future generations.

We honour whakapapa and tikanga, ensuring that every decision, system, and relationship reflects the depth and dignity of Te Ao Māori. Our purpose is not just operational, it is spiritual, relational, and intergenerational.
