Eric Rush - Hire Keynote and Guest Speaker

Eric Rush

One of the world's greatest Rugby Sevens exponents, business leader, MC

Eric has worn many jerseys in life, some made of sweat-soaked cotton, others stitched with quiet determination.

A former All Black and long-time captain of the New Zealand Sevens, he’s led his country to world titles, gold medals, and unforgettable victories.

But beyond the stadium lights, Eric’s story deepens.

After earning a Bachelor of Laws, he swapped the sideline for the courtroom, practicing at some of New Zealand’s most respected firms.

Now, he’s charting a different kind of leadership, as the owner and operator of a New World supermarket in Whangarei, serving his community with the same integrity that defined his sporting years.

A devoted husband, father of five, and grandfather of four, Eric’s journey is one of grit, grace, and the grounded kind of greatness that never asks for applause.

Key Points for Eric Rush

Eric Rush led the New Zealand Sevens to the top of the world, carrying the weight of a jersey that means everything, and wearing it lightly.
Not content with just breaking tackles, Eric studied law, became a barrister, and brought the same discipline to boardrooms that he did to breakdowns.
Now running a New World in Whangarei, he leads from the shop floor, proof that real leadership doesn’t need a spotlight or a scoreboard.
Five kids. Four grandkids. One enduring love. Eric’s proudest role is the one that doesn’t come with a trophy, just a full heart.

Eric has come from very humble beginnings and his journey, realistic but extremely funny and very entertaining. This presents Eric as a humble person who is very happy in his skin and this has an infectious effect on his audience. He has the ability to design his presentation to relate to his audience which as I said is very entertaining. He is simply magnificent and I can’t recommend him highly enough to all audiences.
