Daniel Lechner-Page, MD of IT Stuffed Photo: Adena Teka Photography Name Daniel Lechner-Page Business name ITstuffed Role Managing Director Connection to New Brighton I’ve called New Brighton home for the past 10 years, ever since I first moved to New Zealand. It’s the place my children are growing up, and I’ve found myself becoming more and more involved in the community. It’s also where I’ve built my business, so I’ve got deep roots here - both personal and professional. Best business lesson you ever learned Surround yourself with the right people. Business is never a solo effort — the right team and community can lift each other up to achieve far more together than alone. Ambitions for your business To keep growing, pushing boundaries, and making an impact - with just a hint of world domination along the way.
