Nic Gibbens


Founder & Director
PaperKite

Nic Gibbens has spent over 25 years in the software industry, most of it at the forefront of digital innovation in New Zealand. He founded PaperKite sixteen years ago and leads a team that has partnered with many of the country's most recognised brands (BP, BNZ, MetService, Coca-Cola, Countdown, Hell Pizza and the All Blacks among them) to research, design and build market-leading digital products.

His expertise spans digital strategy and product innovation, mobile technology leadership, user experience and human-centred design, e-commerce, and corporate governance. A Company Director and member of the Institute of Directors (MInstD), he combines entrepreneurial vision with strategic oversight to guide PaperKite's continued growth.

Nic's current focus is simple: in a world where AI has made average free and instant, the teams that win are humans designing for humans. He is not anti-AI. He is anti-average.
