About

Over the last 12 years I have held executive and general management roles in the services and technology space. An engineer by training, with broad experience across product, marketing, sales and operations, I spent three years on the executive team of New Zealand’s leading digital payments business, Paymark. I am currently the GM Business at New Zealand Post. Throughout my career I have had the opportunity to work in and lead teams across a number of different industries and international markets. I have experience across product & software development, B2B and B2C marketing, strategy, transformation, sales, pricing, project delivery, customer operations and HR. I have a proven track record of driving growth from new and existing markets whilst building and leading highly engaged teams. I have a particular interest in customer-led product development and people-led business transformation.
