I started my career as an Avionics Engineer at Air New Zealand. Since then I've held senior leadership and technology roles at Microsoft, co-founded business strategy consultancy Business IQ and been Chief Executive of Cucumber Digital, a Business Innovation Advisor at Callaghan Innovation and Associate Director of Digital Experience at Datacom.
New Ways of Work
Companies are complex human systems full of potential waiting to be released. I can show you modern leadership and management models that will increase autonomy, improve staff engagement and foster trust, creativity and innovation.
Smarter Strategies
Today, every company is a 'software company' so it's vital to embrace digital-first strategy. I have years of experience helping business leaders plan the journey ahead to ensure they're prepared for new opportunities (not to mention new risks).
Advice & coaching
Sometimes what leaders need most is an unbiased viewpoint, a challenging discussion or a zero bullsh*t opinion. I can provide all of those along with brilliantly-facilitated and innovative workshops that will engage, inform and energise.
Public Speaking
I have delivered over 500 presentations and keynotes on a wide variety of topics. I have a knack for making tech and the future understandable and interesting (yes, really) along with an engaging and humorous delivery style.
