Kate Woodruffe

I'm a B2B communications specialist passionate about delivering meaningful change, measurable business results and championing corporate social responsibility.

I work for the Financial Markets Authority as Manager, Communications. In this role I manage a team of communications specialists dedicated to deepening the understanding of financial services and securities regulation in New Zealand, and encouraging businesses and professionals to meet their obligations.

My career in communications spans 20+ years and a number of industries - advertising, publishing, media, stakeholder engagement and public relations. I've spent the last 10+ years working across various PR disciplines and have a strong track record in delivering communications strategy that supports business objectives.

As part of my commitment to my profession, I spent three years on the PRINZ Northern Committee, two of those as Chair. I was awarded PRINZ Fellow status in 2013.
