This website has been created to assemble information on John McEwen and his wide range of past and present interests and activities, both within New Zealand and beyond. This range has developed as a result of John’s extensive international experience.

John started his working life in chemistry, moving from laboratories to manufacturing and then into product marketing in both New Zealand and the United States.

As a result of his exposure to the US market, from the mid-seventies John developed marketing opportunities for both consumer and television products for entry into the US.

This expertise led to the formation of a US-based media company which John personally floated on the AIM stock exchange in London in 1996.

As a result of John’s experience in London he has broadened his interests into publishing, retail and high-tech innovation.

In the Wellington Region he has a small interest in local government.
