"We are delighted to congratulate Dr Shane Collins on her appointment as Women in Leadership Manager at Manatū Wāhine | Ministry for Women.

Shane brings an extensive track record in advancing gender equity, inclusive governance, and Māori Crown relations across the public sector. With senior leadership experience at the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet and a proven ability to deliver systemic change, she is exceptionally well placed to lead key initiatives such as the implementation of the Gender Pay Gap toolkit and the expansion of diverse pipelines into public and private sector governance roles.

It has been a privilege to partner again with Manatū Wāhine on this appointment. The Ministry’s commitment to improving outcomes for wāhine and kōtiro in Aotearoa is reflected in the strength and calibre of their people. We are proud to have supported this important mahi.

Ka nui te mihi ki a koe, Shane – we wish you every success in this vital leadership role. " - Katy Anquetil, Sheffield Director, Wellington.
