Sam Johnson
Sam lives by a pretty simple rule: spend as much time as possible doing “good projects with good people.” (like us!)
Sam has founded and scaled a diverse range of charities, businesses, and ideas that aim to create value for society and enhance common well-being. He’s most well known as the founder of the Student Volunteer Army (SVA), where he served as chief executive until joining STILL (our parent company) – and now he brings his “get it done” energy to us here at Consult.
Sam’s track record is a bit of a trophy cabinet – he’s been Young New Zealander of the Year and a Blake Leadership Award winner – but he’s far too down-to-earth to bring it up himself. He also holds a Chartered Member status with the Institute of Directors and was recognised as the 2023 Auckland Emerging Director of the Year.
Ask Sam about: The best way to mobilise a few thousand volunteers at a moment’s notice, or how he’s finding life in the boardroom versus a post-quake cleanup.
