Louisa Rodani

From starting out her career in the Animated Film sector in Wellington, New Zealand, through to working in Media, Education, and Recruitment across the Middle East, LATAM, and Europe, Louisa’s extensive experience encompasses cultural and creative sectors including film, game development, publishing, location-based experiences, interactive media, and immersive technologies.

Louisa is multilingual, has extensive global networks, and an MBA from Victoria University.

She is also the NZGDA’s International Relations Advisor, bringing her experience in global collaboration, market insights and industry development to foster connections and strengthen the ties between game development sectors across different regions.

During her seven years at New Zealand Trade & Enterprise (NZTE), Louisa worked with NZ Story to attract creative talent into the country and established the Gaming & Interactive Media Division where she helped implement the New Zealand Game Development Sector Rebate (NZGDSR).

As a visionary business strategist who bridges the gap between creative expression and strategic business objectives, Louisa’s goal is to link NZ’s talented creative sector with viable international opportunities that result in long-term trusting partnerships.
