About Me

“I am a forward-thinking director who loves to work with boards committed to fostering diverse perspectives. Recognised for my problem-solving skills, I come with a proven track record, committed to excellence and bringing a strong voice in guiding boards through digital and technology transformation. This includes the strategic use of AI to maximise shareholder value. With over three decades of experience as a technologist and change practitioner, I provide strategic insights on technology trends, ensuring board-level awareness and preparedness. My expertise spans AI, data privacy, and cybersecurity. In my governance career, I have also focussed on audit & risk, board culture and strategy. My consultative background strengthens governance in complex, multi-stakeholder environments. Beyond my core technology and digital skillset, I am also deeply involved in sports and community engagement, with experience in sports officiating, journalism, and cultural initiatives. I leverage on strong emotional intelligence to connect across cultures, reflecting my multilingual and multicultural background, shaped by my upbringing in Asia and Africa. As a Chartered Member of the Institute of Directors (IoD), I uphold the highest standards of ethics, values, and responsible conduct, bringing a fiduciary mindset to every board I serve. I promote the need for good governance as part of the Auckland branch executive member of the IoD. ”
