About Me

“I am a dynamic, inspiring, and visionary kaihautu/leader with extensive governance, restructuring, cultural change and strategic experience gained in Europe and Aotearoa New Zealand over several decades. I use these skills to help organisations overcome their governmental, structural, cultural, and reputational challenges so that they can achieve their full potential. My skill set includes: >The ability to analyse complex situations, cutting through the legal, financial and other complexities, to identify and implement simple solutions to improve an organisation’s focus, performance and culture. >Leading and managing very large and complex organisations. > A good antenna for identifying and minimising risk. >The ability to work with a wide range of stakeholders including, local and central government, the Office of the Auditor General, Ministry for Culture and Heritage, Department of Internal Affairs, Office of Treaty Settlements, local boards, Iwi, funders, sponsors, and other public institutions in Aotearoa and globally. >Driving cultural change, innovation, creativity and performance at the highest level. >Sensitive and empathetic approach to the development of bi-cultural initiatives that embody the principles of the Te Tiriti o Waitangi and recognises the importance and benefits of tangata whenua and tangata Tiriti working together in partnership for a sustainable future. >Crisis management (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic, 911 and the London Bombings). ”
