Duncan Shand
Co-Founder ∙ Young + Shand


Duncan has grown Young + Shand into one of New Zealand's leading Digital Agencies with team of over 60 people, a joint venture development centre in India and grow a software startup in New York.
Duncan started life as an accountant but realised he'd made a mistake went back to university to get a marketing degree and then spent 20 years working in a variety of sales and marketing roles before starting Young + Shand.
This non-traditional background means he can occasionally come up with the occasional piece of wisdom.
