Cassie Roma

Cassie Roma is a storyteller’s storyteller, an innovator, & a change-maker to the core. For 20 years now she’s been pushing the boundaries of creativity, strategy, & traditional business mindsets to bring impactful, award-winning projects & campaigns to life both client &agency side. Building on her her decades of experience in creative industries, advertising, marketing, & media– Roma is currently directing & producing her first documentary whilst developing television shows. On her many accolades, corporate career, & public speaking engagements across the globe Roma says: “My entire professional life has been in service to people, ideas, & stories that connect us. Insights that change us. And, moments that make us stop & think about routine things differently. Stories are what bind us & help us make sense of the world. Being in service to stories is being in service of people whose voices aren’t always heard.” Along with her successful corporate career as an executive & time as an entrepreneur, Cassie has done stints on prime-time TV as The Apprentice Aotearoa’s breakout star (the first queer executive advisor in the franchise’s history), a Celebrity Treasure Island cast member, & host of her own popular podcast Kindness Warriors. As someone who sees being “wired differently” as her superpower, Roma has created a life of joyful empowerment for others and herself. One she hopes inspires others to follow their passions! Described as “strategic & poetic, kind & wise, & an all-around good egg,” Cassie is happiest advocating for LGBTQIA communities, being a mom, & thinking about how to get the next impactful story into the world
