Christopher Luxon
Prime Minister | MP for Botany
I'm married to Amanda and together we have two young adult children, Olivia and William.
A born and bred Cantabrian, I attended Canterbury University before joining multinational company Unilever, first in Wellington and then in several international posts, before becoming President & CEO of Unilever in Canada.

Within a couple of years I was Chief Executive of the world’s best airline.
National’s values are my values. I work hard, I’m aspirational and I get things done. Those are the qualities I bring as your Prime Minister.
