As I have mentioned in my previous articles, the Federation of Aboriginal Nations of the Americas (FANA) continues to establish global contacts.

I am writing an update on the status of FANA’s Ambassador to New Zealand, Nicholas Fisher. His title will now be FANA’s Ambassador to New Zealand and Spain. He will be responsible for finding a location for their Embassy and its staffing.

Ambassador Fisher has lived in Ronda, Spain for over20 years. He has an in-depth understanding of its people and their needs having immersed himself in the Spanish culture.

I will refresh everyone’s memory by including the article that announced his appointment as Ambassador to New Zealand.

For people first reading about Ambassador Fisher, here is the information regarding his qualifications.

Ambassador Fisher has vast experience as a General Manager and Transformation leader in the areas of retailing, franchising, operations, and finance businesses in Australia, U.K., New Zealand, and the United States.

He is a highly respected Private International Banker who has established his own private bank. He has spring strategic leadership and relationship-building skills that enable him to work effectively with different personalities at board and executive levels, and also with wider internal and external customers, employees, and other stakeholders. 

He has years of experience working in a strategic capacity. Based upon his background, it enables him to give attention to detail, and to manage complexity and ambiguity, particularly in the areas of strategic planning and implementation, and transformation execution.

Ambassador Fisher is also skilled in commercial negotiation and has demonstrated a strong ability to lead and influence creative solutions in both regulatory and political environments. He has successfully delivered transformation initiatives in multiple countries and cultures.

He is passionate about supporting indigenous groups in areas of education, health, and any opportunity that gives them a better standard of living. His main focus is on creating shareholder value coupled with exceptional customer outcomes, thereby creating sustainable results.
