Key Insights

Education data is available for 16.3% of iwi officers linked to our people database. This reflects records where education or qualification information has been extracted from annual reports and cross-platform public sources.

The most common qualifications among iwi officers are BCom, FCA, LLB, suggesting a strong representation of business and professional backgrounds on iwi boards.

28 officers have specific university data available. See the University Pipeline page for a detailed breakdown by institution.

Iwi annual reports typically focus on trustee roles and professional backgrounds rather than formal education credentials. Education coverage may be lower than for NZX directors, whose biographies routinely include degree information.

Methodology

Education data is sourced from the shared.people table, which aggregates biographical information from iwi annual reports, cross-platform roles, and other public records.

Qualifications are extracted using pattern matching against education text fields. Common degrees (MBA, LLB, BCom, CA, etc.), professional designations (CFA, CMInstD), and honours (CNZM, MNZM, QSO) are identified. A single officer may hold multiple qualifications.

Only iwi officers with a linked person_id in the people database are included. Officers without cross-platform linking are excluded from this analysis.
