Tim Brown, the former New Zealand pro footballer has become an inspiration for entrepreneurs everywhere. While he had a successful career playing for the Wellington Phoenix and representing New Zealand internationally, after retirement he decided to pursue a masters degree. He then founded Allbirds in 2016, a global shoe brand focused on creating comfortable shoes that are eco-friendly above anything else. Since then he has stepped away from co-CEO to focus on design and creativity as their Chief Innovation Officer.
