Fiso John Fiso (ONZM) is the Director of Fiso Investment Group based in Wellington NZ – a private Pacific fund that focuses on property development, health, education, hospitality, wellness and imports/exports.
The son of migrant parents from Samoa, John was raised in Wellington and attended the almighty Rongotai College before moving to Dunedin to study phys-ed and economics at Otago University.
After teaching for a few years, John spotted a barrier to Pasifika education that he believed he could overcome so he ventured into setting up the NZ Institute of Sport – a private training education that provided pathways for tertiary studies. After almost 20 years, John sold this entity for $19.3M in 2015 and is now involved in all sorts of business ventures across the globe.
Testament to the mark he’s made in our Pasifika and Maori communities, as well as the broader population, John was awarded Wellingtonian of the Year in 2017 and Officer of the NZ Order of Merit in 2016 for services to Education Sport and the Pacific Community.
