Prior to starting Kiwi Cookies, New Zealander Greg Harvey spent 18 years as a Flight Service Manager for Air New Zealand. In 2006 he was seconded to China to help set up the airline’s new crew base in Shanghai recruiting and training Flight Attendants and operating flights between Shanghai, Beijing and Auckland. “It was a wonderful opportunity to learn all about China, doing business and getting networked there, and to learn some Mandarin too!”

Jenny Zheng was formerly Business Development Manager and Marketing/PR Manager for the Silicon Valley tech giant Telegent's Shanghai office. She has transferred these skills to Kiwi Cookies and has been instrumental in securing new locations and developing the crucial relationships to allow the new business to grow and develop.
