Milan Osborne

Business Manager, Te Wharewaka o Pōneke

He mihi nui kia koutou
Ko Mohaka te awa
Ko Tawhirirangi te maunga
No Ngāti Kahungungu me Ngāi Tuhoe ngā iwi
Ko Te Kahu o Te Rangi te marae
Ko Milan Osborne ahau

Milan joins us following a career of over a decade in the ICT industry, most recently in the public sector as a technical advisor for the Ministry of Education, and before that, in the private sector as a National Business Development Manager within both the Managed Services Provider and Distribution markets.

Milan’s role is to manage Wharewaka Tours and Education kaupapa to deliver the cultural, social, environmental  and economic objectives for our Ahu Whenua Trusts while ensuring the tikanga and kawa of Te Ātiawa is observed.

Tū tama roto, Tū tama waho – knowing ourselves while knowing others is a key driver for Milan.  Celebrating the physical presence of Te Raukura, Te Wharewaka o Pōneke in Wellington, as the Capital of Aotearoa and sharing the stories and history of Te Atiawa with our manuhiri is indeed rewarding.

Milan is a father of three and is husband to Jenelle and live in Epuni, Lower Hutt. The whānau enjoy spending time at the beach in Waitarere as well as hosting barbeques at home with friends and family alike. Milan is a keen gamer, a geo-political ‘arm-chair’ strategist and political commentator.
