My strengths are bringing diverse people to work together and combining people skills with technical knowledge. This includes mentoring and leadership, particularly in the governance and ministerial spaces, where I have provided support and guidance to others.
I have a reputation for seeing ways to do things better and pursuing them.
I have extensive experience in the following areas.
Outside work, I love spending as much time as I can with my two sons (and my cat).
I’m a quiz buff, and won the tv quiz show Grand Champion Olympic Challenge, as well as competing on Mastermind with New Zealand cricket as my specialist topic.
Following on the quiz theme, I also help compile and run fundraising quiz nights for good causes.
In student days, I wrote a rugby column for the Otago Daily Times, but these days
I’m looking to compete in the Masters Games at table tennis.
I contribute to the community by collecting for organisations such as Amnesty International, the Breast
Cancer Foundation, and the Heart Foundation.
In my downtime, I’m a book and movie lover, and a nostalgic Dunedin music fan.
