Stephen Wainwright is finishing at Creative New Zealand after 35 years of service.
He joined the organisation in 1990 and became chief executive in 2006 – leading the country’s only national arts funding agency through multiple governments, an earthquake, and a pandemic.
He explains how he ended up working in the arts despite, as a child, wanting to be a cricketer when he grew up – plus what he’s got to look forward to in semi-retirement.
