Serial entrepreneur Linda Jenkinson grew up in Hiwinui in Manawatū and has made huge progress on her goal of world domination.
The Massey University graduate was the first New Zealand woman to list a company on the NASDAQ stock exchange with DMSC, a $250 million on-demand courier company she co-founded.
She has built companies with more than $700 million in value and created 8000 jobs around the world, and recently became chairwoman of Unicef New Zealand.
After an extraordinary list of successes, she is back in New Zealand when she is not in Sydney or San Francisco, determined to help 10 to 20 Kiwis build $100m-plus businesses, with a focus on Manawatū.
