James Whittaker is the British-born founder and CEO of Resonate Health, New Zealand's world-first hearing aid subscription company. A former British Airways executive, he spent over a decade running audiology businesses across New Zealand, Japan and Australia before launching Resonate in November 2022. In under three years he has grown the company to 31 studios nationwide, backed by private equity group Tahua Partners, and built what is widely regarded as the fastest-growing audiology business per capita in the world.► Why James says competitors physically cannot copy his model without destroying their own businesses ► How he launched with zero brand recognition and was "absolutely flying" by studio number three in Tauranga ► The one question he asked every new subscriber that had nothing to do with sales ("how many conversations did you have about Resonate today?")
