Roschelle Marshall - Founder

Kia ora, tālofa lava! With over 20 years of experience across the corporate, community, and social enterprise sectors, I have woven the strands of my experiences to create Honor Impact - a social enterprise dedicated to positive change-making.

No matter where I am, my natural desire has always been to create meaningful change and experiences for people. So, I’m here to make positive change accessible for you and your organisation, whether you need help to evidence your social investment or craft your unique impact stories.

I’m curious and have never stopped learning. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Business, as well as Postgraduate Certificates in Business and Leading Change for Good. I have a Master's degree in Change and Organisational Resilience. I’m a member of Social Value Aotearoa, a Climate Reality Leader and Future Search facilitator. I also volunteer for a number of not-for-profits in a governance capacity.

Every time you choose to work with Honor Impact, you support my personal interest in Pasifika entrepreneurship. One of our impact goals is to support 100 Pasifika entrepreneurs with capability and/or capital by 2030 #mission100 - find out more.

My mother hails from Lefaga, Samoa and my father is a second-generation Kiwi from Scotland and Ireland. I’m also a Westie (#IYKYK) based in Tāmaki Makaurau, wife to Lee, and mama to two growing tamariki. I love beautiful, simple food, read psychological thrillers, and I think dogs are the best.

Beano - Chief Wellbeing Officer

Joining the team in late 2024, I am responsible for making sure all Honor Impact employees get regular stand breaks, time outside, stress-relief patting sessions and warm feet.

I am also an enthusiastic guest greeter (the receptionist I think they call it) and a general ‘dog’s body’.

In my spare time, I enjoy playing with the smaller humans at home, long walks and my favourite food is lamb.

    Volunteering impact with KiwiHarvest

    We evaluated the impact of KiwiHarvest’s volunteering programme to showcase how they are delivering multiple wellbeing benefits.

  • Enabling more impact-led businesses to grow

    For the Ākina Foundation, we designed a new capability-building programme to support impact-led businesses to prepare for their first big impact investment.

  • Creating a new food rescue soup-er hero!

    A collaboration between Naked Locals and Fair Food created the perfect opportunity to raise awareness and funding for the food rescue sector.

  • A NZ-first with car insurance for low-income kiwis.

    Working with community group Good Shepherd, we created New Zealand’s first car insurance product specifically for low-income Kiwis to access comprehensive car insurance.

  • Theory Gets the Grades. Practice Gets the Job.

    This social change campaign demonstrated the strength of going to a polytechnic where you get hands-on skills. The aim was to attract more students into tertiary education.

  • Cover of the Sovereign Wellbeing Index report

    New Zealand's first measure of wellbeing.

    In 2013 in partnership with AUT University, we measured the wellbeing of kiwis for the first time. The insights were shared with Treasury and also informed the company’s community investment strategy.
