About Me

“I am an experienced commercial executive, with a background in strategy, marketing and communications in the healthcare/pharmaceuticals sector. Since returning to New Zealand, I have been working as an independent commercial consultant in the broader Life Sciences sector. Alongside consulting, I am in the early stages of a career in governance. My particular focus is on working with organisations whose goals align with my own, namely improving health and wellbeing, and championing diversity and inclusion. I bring to the board table a laser focus on the customer/consumer, the ability to cut through technical complexity to produce clear strategy, and experience of developing and communicating winning value propositions. My approach is collaborative, constructive, and mindful of how to get the best out of others at the table. From a personal perspective, I'm a mother of two active children. In my spare time I enjoy getting out with my family to explore the outdoors -whether that is the beach, parks, rivers or the mountains. Whenever I can I like to get along to live music and sport events. I've also been enjoying learning about gardening, and like the chance to read a good book when time allows!”
