What Made a Tech-Hater Join NZ's Biggest Agritech Company with Malindi Maclean

Malindi MacLean is VP of Customer at Halter, the New Zealand-founded agritech company transforming farming through solar-powered smart collars for cattle. She leads Halter's Global Customer Team across Auckland, Colorado, Australia, and Argentina. Malindi began her career as a professional cyclist representing New Zealand, before moving into senior commercial roles at Coca-Cola Amatil, IAG, and Hubbards. In 2021 she became the first female CEO of Outward Bound New Zealand — a role she stepped into seven months pregnant, in the middle of a pandemic — where she became a leading voice on youth development and wellbeing. Across every chapter, the through-line is the same: a deep belief in people, purpose, and challenge as the engines of growth.
