Dahee Sohn
Born in Seoul and based in Auckland, Dahee Sohn (손다희) has spent her career building bridges between Korea and New Zealand.
As executive director of the Korea New Zealand Business Council (KNZBC), Dahee leads the voluntary revival of one of New Zealand's oldest bilateral business organisations — founded in 1978 — reconnecting governments, businesses, and communities across both countries.
Dahee holds a BCom in Management and Marketing from Victoria University of Wellington and works as senior associate manager of brand marketing and product development at Newell Brands (Sistema).
Bilingual in Korean and English, she is driven by a simple ambition: to see the Korea–NZ relationship reach new heights by KNZBC's 50th anniversary in 2028.
