Capability
With both private practice and in-house experience, I enjoy working through issues with clients by balancing legal risk with a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach. I am motivated by helping people, solving problems and making things better. I have extensive people management skills and have either led or worked on many projects that have had goals of reducing costs, increasing productivity and delivering IT based solutions for the benefit of the business.
Outside of work I am Deputy Chair of Te Manawa Museums Trust and Trustee of Touch Compass Dance Trust. I have a passion for the arts and enjoy combining that with working in corporate governance.
