Josh Hansen

Catalyst

Josh is a creative catalyst based between Australia and New Zealand. He began his career as a lawyer, predominantly in employment law. After three years advocating and investigating issues within organisations, he grew somewhat dissatisfied with the processes and outcomes. Josh became intrigued about how leadership, strategy, culture and performance can be brought together to pursue breakthrough and development. Josh is most energised by ambitious teams and individuals taking on purposeful challenges and resolving problems others quietly decided couldn't be fixed.

In 2023, Josh was appointed as the first Director of the New Zealand Liberation Museum Te Arawhata in France. After a year establishing the museum, he returned to Australia to join Samurainowhere where he has worked in a wide range of industries including property, sport, financial services, insurance and the public service. Josh has an LLB (Hons) / BA (History).
