Former All Black Mils Muliaina is set to trade rugby fields for the boardroom as he steps into his new role.

He recently joined the Auckland Business Chamber board, becoming its first Pasifika director in the organisation's history.

Mils Muliaina says this new role came to him as a surprise, but he's welcoming the new opportunity. 

"I'm supposed to provide a voice for the communities, especially for the Pacific community, in finance and insurance and I suppose economic matters. So I'm pretty chuffed."
