We are so excited to introduce and welcome Sianne Dixon-Hall as our new Partnerships Manager for our Vegetarian Approved and Vegan Certified trademark programmes.
"Joining the NZVS team has been a natural fit; I’ve been vegetarian for over 20 years – a journey that has shaped my values and a deep commitment to a more compassionate, sustainable way of living. Originally from Rotorua, I studied Law and Commerce at Otago before embarking
on a career in sales and marketing, including senior roles in FMCG, grocery retail, and supplements. I also spent a decade in Singapore, where I founded a successful New Zealand wine distribution business. These experiences taught me that the most impactful change happens through strategic collaboration. I’m excited to help NZVS thrive – from expanding our Vegetarian Approved and Vegan Certified programmes, supporting our corporate partners and brands, to securing new benefits for our members.
At home, I live with my permaculture-gardening husband and two sons. When not in the office, I’m usually at a yoga class, walking our adopted greyhound, experimenting with plant-based recipes, or planning our next travel adventure.
I’m thrilled to be in a position to drive change across Aotearoa, making vegetarianism more accessible for a kinder, healthier world. If you are a business owner interested in our Vegan Certified or Vegetarian Approved programmes, or if you have a partnership idea, I’d love to chat. Please get in touch at sianne@vegetarian.org.nz."
