About
Kia ora,
I am a senior leader with unique and broad experiences leading functions and teams. I also hold board experience across a number of private and not for profit organisations.
I have substantial depth and breadth of experience having worked in diverse sectors and functions in private sector, public sector and not for profit organisations. This has included a range of challenges from managing large operational functions, organisational transformations, and significant incidents and workplace fatalities, including the operational response to COVID-19.
My ability to successfully communicate organisational vision and priorities across multiple levels sees me frequently called upon to translate the "complex" into a language all can connect and engage with, transforming both leadership behaviours and organisational cultures.
I have managed teams through significant change, complex disputes and negotiations that have enabled organisations to deliver against strategic goals, and aligned teams to the direction, significantly shifting engagement. I comfortably interact with Boards and executive teams and maintain strong networks across public and private entities.
I have a passion for Aotearoa, New Zealand, particularly organisations doing great things within their communities to enable our tamariki and mokupuna to thrive. I welcome the challenge of solving “wicked problems” and enjoy aligning the operational delivery and people capability to the strategic direction. My commercial acumen and operational management expertise allow me to quickly adapt to any environment and bring value and different thinking to support organisational growth.
I hold a Masters of Arts (Psychology), and subsequent qualifications in Innovative Thinking and Dispute Resolution. I am accredited in several leadership development tools, including the suite from Human Synergistics.
As a mentor, I bring my expertise from the diverse background I hold. I also have a significant number of connections within Aotearoa, to help mentorees connect wider.
