Ganesh Ahirao

Dr Ganesh Ahirao (aka Ganesh Nana) has over 45 years of professional experience in economics. He has used this time to fight for fairer outcomes in our society, and to argue for changes to establish an economic system that properly serves the communities of Aotearoa, rather than vice-versa.

He currently occupies his time in voluntary roles with several charities including Treasurer for Kaibosh. He has previously been Chair of the Productivity Commission Te Kōmihana Whai Hua o Aotearoa, and led BERL — a NZ-owned consultancy — to be an Accredited Living Wage employer.
