About Guy:

Guy is an award-winning entrepreneur, leader and speaker. He was awarded Young New Zealander of the Year in 2015, is an Edmund Hillary Fellow, and has represented New Zealand at various international summits and leadership development opportunities.

From humble beginnings, Guy grew up in a tiny village on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island Granity. He played every sport possible, was far too competitive, and often too cheeky. He was the first in his family to study at University, completing a double degree and a Masters at Otago University, and co-founded an internationally award-winning film production company.

In 2011 he founded Inspiring Stories with a bold vision to back young people to change the world. Over the past decade Guy and the team have built Inspiring Stories to become an intergenerational movement for impact, with a 10,000-strong tribe of alumni and supporters. As the Founder & CEO of Inspiring Stories, Guy leads the team behind an impressive track record of programmes and partnerships. Key initiatives include New Zealand’s biggest social innovation summit, Festival for the Future; The Impact Awards, which celebrates young New Zealanders making a difference with $30,000 in prizes; and the year-round Future Leaders programme, which is changing lives for a diverse range of young people in some of New Zealand’s most challenged rural and provincial communities.

Alumni of these programmes have gone on to win major awards and represent New Zealand on the world stage. They’re building the next generation of purpose-driven businesses, leading action on climate change, creating more inclusive communities and workplaces, dreaming big, and pushing boundaries boundaries to make a difference for our future.

Outside of work Guy is a father with two young boys, loves adventure, surfing and skateboarding.
