For Uluiqalau, this opportunity is more than professional growth—it’s a chance to deepen his understanding of national governance and economic impact. “I’m eager to engage with key decision-makers from various government ministries, gaining insights into how policies shape our economy. As a brewer, I want to explore the role our industry plays in national development and identify ways we can drive greater contributions,” he shared.
Leadership Fiji is widely recognised for shaping visionary leaders who drive meaningful change. Through immersive learning experiences and direct engagement with policymakers and industry experts, the program empowers participants to broaden their perspectives and develop innovative solutions for the nation’s future.
Mike Spencer, General Manager of Paradise Beverages, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to investing in leadership. “Strong leadership is the backbone of any successful business and a thriving economy. By supporting Leadership Fiji, we’re not only developing individuals within our organisation but also strengthening the broader Fijian leadership pipeline.”
