Events Event Speaker Mike Kevan

Mike Kevan is a creative leader, narrative strategist, and probably the only Head of Design in the Southern Hemisphere who named his son after Columbo.

Currently leading Spark NZ’s in-house design function, Mike has quietly built a team that saves the business millions each year—not by shouting louder, but by telling better stories. His work lives at the intersection of soft skills and hard realities: empathy, influence, organisational politics, and the emotional labour of leadership.

Events Event Speaker Kate Lightfoot

Kate Lightfoot is a commercially-savvy creative lead with 20+ years of experience building high-performing, happy teams in ad agencies and in-house brand studios. As Creative Lead at Belong Mobile, she balances the satisfaction of cracking and crafting big ideas with the reality of meeting tight deadlines. Equal parts brand nerd, team coach, and straight-shooting problem solver, Kate’s obsessed with putting processes in place to help creatives do their best work.

Events Event Speaker Trent Henderson

Trent Henderson is an accomplished senior leader, currently heading the in-house creative and production operation at TAFE NSW. With over 25 years’ experience in creative services operations across the public and private sectors, he brings a deep understanding of brand, communications, and the systems that enable creative teams to thrive.
