Leadership Network members
Theo Van Toor
Theo is a Wellington-based policy officer passionate about advancing New Zealand’s engagement with Asia and the Pacific, and committed to deepening our appreciation of how these regions shape New Zealand's identity and future.
Theo’s interest in Asia comes from his travels across the region and a fascination with its diverse politics and cultures. His decision to apply to the network came from a desire to support the work the foundation is doing in connecting New Zealander's to Asia in rich and unique ways - having had the opportunity to do this himself on the Indonesia Hui in 2024.
In his spare time, Theo enjoys spending time with his family and friends, staying active, making music and exploring new hobbies.
