Summary
Customer-focused, down to earth professional. Building strong relationships with staff, farmers, contractors and everyday people to better understand their needs is something that comes naturally to me. I offer you strong leadership experience, excellent communication skills, with a genuine passion for being present in our community and going the extra mile to not only deliver but exceed both internal and external expectations. Leading by example, continuous improvement, having a good sense of humour and a bit of kiwi ingenuity helps a lot, having varied roles within my working career gives me a wide range of experience of knowledge that I enjoy sharing and teaching.
