Leighton Evans
Chief Executive
My role at Rātā Foundation is Business Manager. I manage administrative processes and systems to ensure compliance and support operational efficiency.
Wendy grew up in Ōtautahi and loves connecting and spending time with family and friends - especially her three incredible children. She appreciates music and a wide range of live performances, speedway, and loves exploring nature, walking, and tramping.
The mahi of Rātā Foundation, a purpose-driven organisation making a tangible difference in people's daily lives, attracted Wendy to the role.
She is passionate about supporting people and communities from a grassroots level and enabling them to realise their vision for their community. Knowing that everything she does at work contributes to enabling better outcomes for people and communities is both motivating and inspiring.
