We don’t just advise; we partner, uplift, and walk alongside you to achieve meaningful and measurable change.
At Riaki, we stand apart from conventional consulting firms. Our approach is grounded in lived experience, cultural integrity, and a relentless focus on results. We don’t just advise; we partner, uplift, and walk alongside you to deliver meaningful and measurable change. With a diverse collective of professionals, we bring practical insight from the boardroom, the frontline, and the back office wherever your organisation is, we can meet you there.
We bring more than frameworks; we bring leadership.
Our team is made up of advisors who have founded, scaled, and exited businesses; held senior leadership roles in international primes and government departments; governed not-for-profits, sports clubs, and commercial entities; and led complex change in both public and private sectors.
This breadth gives us the agility to understand your world quickly and tailor support to match your needs.
We’ve walked the journey, from ideation to acquisition, from funding challenges to frontline delivery. Whether you’re navigating growth, transformation, governance shifts, or people capability, it’s highly likely we have someone in our team who’s lived it and can guide you through it.
Working in relationship. Grounded in context. Focused on people and purpose.
At Riaki, Te Ao Māori thinking is naturally woven through the way we work, in how we build relationships, make decisions, and support others to lead well.
Our approach reflects values like manaakitanga and whanaungatanga, taking time to understand people, their environments, and the relationships that matter. We bring a relational and respectful way of working, grounded in context, and responsive to the kaupapa of each client we support.
Whether engaging with iwi, kura, government departments, community organisations or private businesses, we bring a style of consulting that values connection, care, and collective progress. It’s not an add-on, it’s how we operate.
Advice that works, where you are, and where you’re going.
We don’t bring off-the-shelf reports or generic roadmaps. Every engagement starts with listening, understanding your context, aspirations, and constraints.
From there, we coach, facilitate, design targetted strategies and support systems that are pragmatic, scalable, and aligned to your goals. We combine strategic thinking with operational know-how, ensuring recommendations translate into action and momentum.
Building stronger leaders, teams, and systems.
We measure our success by your growth.
Our role is to help build internal capability that lasts beyond our involvement. Whether through executive coaching, leadership development, organisational design, or process improvement, we support your people to lead with confidence, make informed decisions, and deliver results.
Partnership is our practice.
We believe in whakawhanaungatanga; taking time to build meaningful relationships grounded in trust, respect, and shared purpose.
Our clients choose Riaki not just for what we do, but how we do it. We bring integrity, discretion, and care into every engagement. That’s why many of our clients return, not because they need more help, but because they value a trusted sounding board who understands their world.
Deep local insight. Broad global reach.
Based in Aotearoa, our network spans across industries and into international markets.
We understand the local context, from government and iwi to start-ups and legacy businesses; and we know how to connect those stories with wider opportunities. Whether you’re scaling locally or engaging across borders, Riaki offers perspective that crosses boundaries.
If you’re ready to uplift your people, outcomes, and impact; we’re ready to walk with you.
Whatever your challenge, it’s likely someone in our team has faced it before and can help you find a path forward with clarity and confidence.
