About

Head of Operations with a focus on keeping things running smoothly across people, clients, and processes. I lead and support a team to deliver clear, consistent, and practical outcomes for NZ businesses and trusts, while continually improving how we work—whether that’s pricing, systems, or engagement processes. I’m passionate about supporting people—both clients and team members—so they feel confident, capable, and set up to succeed. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me at the local rugby club, out on a hike, or spending time with family and friends.
