Monique Kelly trained as a lawyer, working with the UN International Labour Organisation on social and employment policy and standards. She's managed to merge her expertise into sustainability, as an area of interest.
She's the founder of Wao, a Wanaka-based charitable trust that aims to help communities and organisations shift to a sustainable future, and she was a finalist in the 2022 Sustainable Business Awards.
Monique co-founded Revology 10 years ago, a concept store focused on circular design, and she's director of New Zealand Functional Foods which makes plant-based drinks at a low-carbon facility. And she'll be speaking at Wanaka's Festival of Colour this weekend. You can find details here.
