Angus Tait - the founder of Tait Electronics, has passed. While some might not have agreed with his moving Tait into a trust structure similar to Bosch - a move that required considerable personal financial sacrifice - you can't deny the incredible impact he had by creating a lasting NZ export powerhouse.
Angus epitomized all that is great about NZ entrepreneurs - unrelenting persistence, deep technical smarts, a belief in the team over the individual, and a commitment to building great NZ-based technology companies with a global footprint.
No matter how great the legacy he leaves - and it is great - he will be missed.
