Timo Reitnauer
Co-founder We Love Local (and previously iwantmyname)
About me
I started my life and career in Germany before moving to Wellington, New Zealand in the 2000s. From there, I co-founded domain registrar iwantmyname, which was later sold to CentralNic Plc.In early 2020, my wife Valerie and I acquired We Love Local to showcase artisan food producers and expose their products to a nationwide audience. Our website offers unique NZ gift boxes from Aotearoa's regions — you should check it out!
