Female Entrepreneurs An Essential Part Of New Zealand's Socio-Economic Growth

“In my view, my leadership is characterized by the ability to cultivate a conducive atmosphere for people to reach their full potential and excel in their work,” says architect and entrepreneur Lyzadie Renault.

In a candid conversation with the Global Woman Leader team, Lyzadie outlines her professional journey and ideas about leadership. “My mantras are, the better world starts with me, and consider being the type of energy that adds value and beauty to the people you meet and places you visit,” she further adds.

Lyzadie is a talented architect and founder of Lyzadie Design Studio. She's passionate about sustainable design, community building, and creating beautiful, ethical products. Trained in architecture at Auckland University and the Architectural Association in London, Lyzadie has extensive experience in large and smaller architectural practices.

Lyzadie has incorporated her values and passions into every aspect of her business. She manages all aspects of the design studio and employs contractors for specialized areas, ensuring that her company operates sustainably and ethically.

Lyzadie is a shining example of the thriving women entrepreneurs and leaders in New Zealand. Women such as her have been playing a crucial part in the socio-economic growth of New Zealand.

Reports suggest that over 32 percent of businesses in New Zealand are owned and run by women making NZ among the leading countries in terms of female-owned businesses.

Based on data by the 2018 Mastercard Index of Women Entrepreneurs, New Zealand emerged as one of the top nations to support conditions and opportunities for women to thrive as entrepreneurs. Sweden, Canada, the United States, and Singapore were the other top nations.

As is evident from women entrepreneurs’ success and capability that they can play a significant role in strengthening a nation’s economy and business landscape. It must be the prerogative of governments, industry bodies and organizations to empower women to shine in their respective fields. Other nations must take a leaf from New Zealand’s books and empower its women entrepreneurs to achieve a greater socio-economic outcome.
