Inspiring Women Business Conference: Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce
More than just inspiration
Inspiring Women is a boutique business and leadership conference for women who want honest conversations, practical ideas & meaningful connections.
Across two immersive days, you’ll hear from accomplished women willing to go beyond the polished success story and share what leadership, ambition and progress actually look like behind the scenes.
Expect candid conversations about the decisions, setbacks, habits and defining moments that have shaped their careers, alongside practical insights you can apply to your own leadership, business and future.
This conference might not be for everyone on our database, but you may have women in your team or network who would value the opportunity. Please forward this email to anyone who should be in the room.
Introducing our first speakers
We’re delighted to reveal the first inspiring women to join the lineup — with more speaker announcements still to come.
Event MC: Livia Esterhazy
Livia Esterhazy is a founder, director and CEO who knows what it takes to lead — from NZ’s premium advertising agencies, to CEO of WWF New Zealand, to her current role steering the $27 million A Lighter Touch programme.
On stage, she has a way of having a room laughing one minute and furiously taking notes the next. Open, honest, and able to make people feel safe enough to be vulnerable, so they leave with more energy than they arrived with.
Rachel Taulelei
Rachel Taulelei (Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga, Ngāti Rārua, Ngāti Huia ki Katihiku) is a prominent Aotearoa New Zealand business leader, with a career spanning entrepreneurship, governance, sustainability, Māori economic development and international trade.
She founded sustainable seafood company Yellow Brick Road, led Māori-owned food and beverage company Kono, and is now co-founder of brand strategy firm Oho. Rachel is the Chair and Co-Owner of the Tokomanawa Queens (Wellington’s professional women’s basketball team), and serves on major boards including Mercury NZ, Wellington Airport, The Warehouse Group, and ANZCO Foods.
Aimee McCammon
Aimee McCammon is the Managing Director of Pic’s Peanut Butter, taking the reins after a decade on the company’s advisory board. As Pic Picot’s stepdaughter, she represents the second generation of family leadership and is the company’s first female CEO.
An experienced strategist and brand builder, Aimee has worked with some of New Zealand’s best-known brands, including Whittaker’s, Toyota, Lotto, 42 Below and Tourism New Zealand. Her career has also included senior leadership roles at Saatchi & Saatchi, Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post Production, Assignment Group and Trade Me.
Gina Dellabarca
Gina is Chief Executive of NBS. With over 20 years of experience in banking and executive leadership, Gina has navigated transformative change, led strategic innovation, and championed inclusion throughout her career. Before joining NBS, she held key leadership roles at Westpac NZ, driving transformation and business growth.
And this is only the beginning…
More speakers, conversations and programme details will be revealed soon.
What we can tell you now is that Inspiring Women will not be a conference where you simply sit, listen and leave.
It is a deliberately boutique experience designed to create space for reflection, practical learning and genuine connection — where conversations continue beyond the stage and relationships are built naturally.
You’ll leave with fresh perspectives, useful tools, renewed confidence and a stronger network of women around you.
