Leilani Faaiuaso
Leilani is a proud tama'ita'i Samoa from the Samoan villages of Falealupo, Salelologa, Luatuanu'u and Leulumoega, with ancestral links to China.
Village-made and raised, she recognises the strength of collective solidarity and love, and is fearlessly ambitious in creating a better tomorrow.
Her leadership and advocacy spans across corporate, governance, charity and community spaces. She currently works at Deloitte as an Analyst in Technology and Transformation.
In 2024, she was selected as part of the Asia Europe Foundation Young Leaders Summit and travelled to Budapest, Hungary, presented a TedTalk, and was also awarded a Kiwibank New Zealand Local Hero of the Year medal for her regional work in Manawatū-Whanganui.
