Frank Olsson
Swedish
born Frank Olsson has lived in seven countries and worked with people
of all backgrounds. A law graduate, he held senior corporate banking
roles in New Zealand, Australia Singapore and Japan from
1990-2005.
Frank is currently a director of Wallace
Corporation and Chairman of The Auckland Chamber Orchestra Trust. He is
also Chairman of Enviroschools Trust and Chairman of the AUT MBA
advisory committee. In addition he is on the advisory board for
Auckland University, Business School short courses, and a trustee of
Leadership New Zealand. He is President off Pompallier Tennis Club and
enjoys tennis, skiing, golf and swimming and is a keen supporter of the
arts.
He enjoys public speaking and audiences enjoy him
because he is able to present a unique perspective distilled from his
work and life experiences.
My greatest strength is to
motivate people and make them feel good about themselves. I believe
that when people are well supported and appreciated they learn faster,
work harder and remain happier and healthier. My own experience tells
me that this formula is universal. Differences between peoples, because
they are easy to identify, are often exaggerated. All the people I have
met and
worked with respond positively to attention and encouragement &. I have
a strong sense of values and believe that an unquestionable commitment
to ethics is of paramount importance.
