About Me

“I bring to the boardroom a combination of strategic commercial thinking, deep sector expertise, and a genuine commitment to using my experience to make organisations better. As a Registered Architect and senior construction leader with experience across New Zealand, UK, Australia, Vietnam and the Middle East, I have operated at the intersection of strategy and delivery — growing businesses, building teams, managing risk, and navigating complex stakeholder environments. My background in facilities construction, government procurement, and executive leadership is directly relevant to organisations operating in the built environment, community, infrastructure, and sport sectors. I have reported to and worked alongside boards throughout my executive career, preparing governance documentation for corporate sign-off, managing P&L, and leading major government procurement processes. I am now seeking my first formal board appointment, where I can contribute the commercial insight, industry networks, and leadership capability I have built over nearly two decades.”
