Tokatumoana Kevin Walden

Ko Taranaki toku mounga

Ko Kurahaupo, Ko Tokomaru oku waaka

Ko Taranaki, Ko Ngati Maru, Ko Te Atiawa oku iwi

Ko au te mokopuna o Te Mounga Titohea

Ko Tokatumoana Kevin Walden toku ingoa

No reira 

Tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa

I was raised in Taranaki on a dairy farm in Rahotu and I have previously served on the Committee of Management for PKW. Throughout my professional career, I have gained extensive networks and experience across both private and public sectors in the education, environmental, community development, iwi and energy sectors. As a prior negotiator and Chairperson for Taranaki iwi it was a privilege to secure a significant settlement for all descendants of Taranaki iwi. Following completion of the settlement in 2016, I took some time out to reset and I feel ready to re-enter the governance world with fresh perspectives and new energy. Outside of work, you’ll likely find me either coaching rugby, at the local cafe or running around after my four mokopuna.

If I am successful in being elected for the PKW Committee of Management I will bring strong governance acumen, strategic outlook, extensive Iwi and key stakeholder networks and a passion to assist and grow PKW to benefit all their shareholders.

Heoi ano, tukuna mai ou koutou poti ki a au, Ka tatari au ki te awhina !!
