Maile Keone, CEO of Listen Technologies, turns ideas into action as a leader in assistive listening & communications.
It has been my experience that the most successful partnerships are like good marriages: built on trust, mutual respect and shared purpose. When teams combine their strengths, magic can happen. And I believe that strong business alliances have never been more important than in today’s hyperconnected yet increasingly fragmented world. With AI rapidly entrenching itself in all industries and with global trade policies fluctuating, fostering partnerships that bridge technology gaps and combine human expertise can be an important element for survival in these wildly uncertain times.
As part of a major redevelopment project to futureproof its facilities, Stadium Taranaki has embraced the next generation of assistive listening technology – Auri by Listen Technologies and Ampetronic, powered by Auracast. Located in New Plymouth, Taranaki, the stadium set out to become New Zealand’s leading regional venue for sports and entertainment, with a strong commitment to inclusion and accessibility for all visitors.
