Alumni stories
More than 200,000 AUT graduates are out there doing work that matters, in Aotearoa and around the world. Some are building companies from the ground up. Others are leading teams, creating change or shaping industries from the inside.
You’ll find AUT alumni at Apple, the BBC, local healthcare providers, startups, small businesses and global organisations. CEOs, specialists, creators, problem‑solvers. One even co‑founded Tesla.
Different paths. Shared beginnings. Real‑world impact.
