Omea Willows: Excellent Women in Leadership Award Finalist

Omea Willows Named Finalist in Tauranga Business Chamber’s Excellent Women in Leadership Award 2026

We are delighted to announce that our very own Omea Willows, Director Investor Relations & Operations, has been named a finalist in the Tauranga Business Chamber’s Excellent Women in Leadership Award.

This recognition is part of the annual Tauranga Business Awards, which celebrate excellence, innovation, and leadership across all sectors of the Western Bay of Plenty business community. Each year, the awards showcase the region’s vibrant business landscape and highlight the people and organisations driving growth and success.

In true Omea fashion, she would never have put herself forward - so we did it for her. Why? Because she’s an exceptional leader who inspires and empowers every day.

Omea has successfully led our Investor Relations & Operations team, ensuring compliance and driving equity raising efforts with confidence and clarity. Her legal background, financial expertise, and MBA provide strong credibility, but what truly sets her apart is her ability to empower people. She sees potential before others do and helps team members grow from entry-level roles into leadership positions.

Thoughtful, approachable, humble yet impactful - Omea embodies the qualities of an outstanding leader. We are incredibly proud to see her recognised for the difference she makes every single day.

The winners will be announced at the Tauranga Business Awards ceremony on 12 March 2026.
