International Women’s Day 2026 is a time is a time to recognise the women shaping Aotearoa’s past, present, and future. At Sheffield, equity isn’t an aspiration; it’s embedded in how we lead, partner and empower others.

In Wellington, Katy Anquetil, Executive Director Wellington continues to be a sought-after voice in the governance space, particularly through her ongoing collaboration with Women on Boards. By hosting webinars and contributing to panels like the recent "Getting Board Ready" series, Katy remains dedicated to demystifying the path to directorship. Her focus is on providing the next generation of female leaders with the practical insights and confidence needed to navigate the complexities of board-level roles.
"One of the greatest opportunities and gifts of my career has been meeting, supporting, and championing women as they step into different stages of their leadership journey. Every time a woman backs her capability and takes that next step, our communities and our decision‑making become stronger." - Katy Anquetil
