Heroes Among Us - Conversation with Gary Shaw
Description
Gary is a former New Zealand police detective who spent years working undercover to rescue victims of human trafficking. His frontline experience as an anti-slavery investigator gave him rare insight into the realities of exploitation and the resilience of those affected.
After leaving law enforcement, Gary transitioned into the corporate world, advising businesses on how to identify and address modern slavery risks within their operations and supply chains. His work helps bridge the gap between criminal justice and corporate responsibility.
Gary brings a unique perspective shaped by both field investigations and strategic advisory roles. He understands the psychological and systemic challenges faced by NGOs, survivors, and businesses alike—and is committed to building practical, ethical solutions that drive real change.
