Anna Mowbray is one of New Zealand’s most accomplished entrepreneurs.  A global leader known for building billion-dollar businesses, pioneering new ventures, and reshaping industries with vision, heart, and relentless momentum.

As Co-Founder and Executive of ZURU, Anna helped lead one of the country’s greatest business success stories. Transforming a family start-up into a multi-billion dollar global enterprise, operating at scale across more than 120 countries. She architected the company’s cultural DNA, operational systems, and global expansion strategy, driving innovation and performance from the inside out.

Now, she’s building again. This time with ZEIL, a cutting-edge, data-driven job marketplace redefining how people and companies connect. Often called the “Tinder for jobs”, ZEIL brings simplicity, transparency, and humanity back into recruitment, with a bold ambition to become the most loved hiring platform in the world.

Anna’s entrepreneurial reach doesn’t stop there. She is one of the founders behind Re-Corp, Aotearoa’s most progressive aluminium can manufacturing facility. A project that represents one of the largest private investments in NZ’s manufacturing sector and a powerful commitment to sustainable innovation. And she’s reshaping sport and community engagement as one of the proud owners of Auckland FC (Auckland Football Club) - a next-gen club grounded in purpose, player development, and a world-class fan experience.

A passionate investor in New Zealand’s start-up ecosystem and a vocal advocate for women in leadership, Anna is driven by purpose, powered by people, and grounded in the belief that business can - and must - be a force for good.
