SPEAKERS
Howard Parry Husbands, CEO, Pollinate
After completing a geography BSc studying the science of climate change long before it was fashionable, Howard spent a few years learning that merchant banking and insurance did not suit him before landing at market research. His research career has been focused on brands and advertising in the UK, New Zealand and Australia where his frustration with average research and a meeting of minds with Sharyn Smith led them to set up pollinate to establish research that focussed on people as the most powerful agents for change. Howard is also a director of Soup, one of the world’s leading advocacy and WOM agencies. Howard loves public speaking, is passionately committed to the pursuit of sustainability in our lifetimes, a proud father and a terrible surfer.
