Don Brash

Global economist, policy architect, political provocateur with razor-sharp institutional insight

Don Brash has been shaping New Zealand’s economic, political and banking landscape since bell-bottoms were in fashion the first time.

From the World Bank corridors to the Beehive’s backrooms, he’s been a calm hand on volatile levers, Reserve Bank Governor, National Party leader, ACT Party cameo, and policy architect.

He doesn’t just talk about markets and macroeconomics; he’s redesigned them.

These days, he chairs international boards, lectures globally, and dabbles in consultancy from the Pacific to the Persian Gulf.

Don offers rich, real-world insight with a dash of ideological mischief, perfect for rooms that need bold thinking and fearless perspective.
