New High Profile Appointments at Unfiltered

Unfiltered recently made two new high profile appointments to their board in the persons of ad man Kevin Roberts and Icebreaker boss, Rob Fyfe, with Roberts taking the chair.

The appointments are effective from the start of May and come a month after Auckland-based Unfiltered raised $1.2 million from a selection of high net worth investors to help fund its push into the US from June. The board is rounded out by founders Jake Millar and Yuuki Ogino and Australian entrepreneur, Richard Bell.

Unfiltered was co-founded by Millar and Yuuki Ogino in November 2015 and was born out of frustration by the lack of in-depth business advice online. In 15-months, Unfiltered has grown from strength to strength, today boasting interviews with the likes of Virgin Group Founder Sir Richard Branson, WeWork Co-Founder Miguel McKelvey, Tesla Co-Founder Ian Wright and General Motors President, Dan Ammann.

 

"I've come into Unfiltered because I believe it's unstoppable," Roberts said. "The big idea is that we can disrupt every business education programme the world has ever seen. The opportunities in front of us are enormous globally." Roberts and Fyfe were part of last month's $1.2m capital raise, which expanded the companies shares on issue by 1.2 million to 6 million shares, implying Unfiltered's valued at $6m.

Millar said Fyfe and Roberts' skills "are exactly what Unfiltered needs from a governance perspective to help it grow into a truly global business".

Unfiltered publishes exclusive advice from the best in business, and dedicates itself to bringing companies the business education and mentoring they need to build a global business empire from New Zealand.

 

Nowhere else are business legends all coming together to achieve a common purpose, in a unique collaboration between startup, corporate, government and academia. The Unfiltered purpose is, “to educate, inspire and fund the next generation of business leader,” and the Unfiltered vision is, “to make ‘business’ what ‘sport’ is to New Zealand.”
