Brooke Roberts is a New Zealand entrepreneur and businesswoman. She is one of six co-founders of the micro-investing platform Sharesies. Her gender equality story started early. She remembers not being able to compete against the boys at sport – and questioning why! She was also aware of the financial impact of her parent’s divorce and what that meant in terms of having enough to do nice things compared to those who could not. It was an experience that stuck with her and it's what drives her today in working to ensure everyone has the opportunity to build wealth from a low base.
