Dame Suzie Moncrieff, founder of the World of WearableArts, has been inducted into the New Zealand Hall of Fame for Women Entrepreneurs. I never thought of myself as a businesswoman and certainly never thought of myself as an entrepreneur,” she said. “I was working as an artist and needed a strong idea for promoting the local gallery. Co.OfWomen founder Tara Lorigan said in a statement that the Hall of Fame, which Co.OfWomen started in 2012, celebrated “the significant business achievements and generosity of the country’s most successful entrepreneurs”. She said the Hall of Fame for Women Entrepreneurs created “explicit, diverse examples encouraging women working on their own successes”.
