Winner - Asian Family Services

Winner Tian

General Manager

A 1.5 generation Chinese New Zealander born in Xi'An, migrating to Aotearoa New Zealand when he was 8 with his parents.
He has had a rich and diverse career before joining Asian Family Services. He was a Clinical Audiologist for over a decade, working within New Zealand and abroad across all areas in the industry.
With a passion to contribute towards system change, he completed a second Master's degree in Health Leadership, specialising in Health Management. This led to his most recent role as a Senior Consultant within the management consulting sector.
During the time of his Health Leadership degree and as a management consultant, his research into alcohol and drug harm amongst Asian New Zealanders led to the first ever large-scale national survey looking into this field and enabled a partnership between Asian Family Services and the New Zealand Drug Foundation.
Being of the 1.5 "in-between'' generation, Winner has an innate understanding of the trans-generational challenges our Asian communities face living in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Although these challenges often arise from differences in values (between parent and child, between new and long-term migrants, between cultural and ethnic groups), he believes ongoing, effective ways to address these challenges will also stem from these values.
He looks forward to bringing his experience to Asian Family Services and helping its people to grow.
