Managing Director
About Me
I help business owners and CEOs achieve big hairy audacious goals. I do this by encouraging my clients to be the wolf, not the deer, to aim high and to look for opportunity (found hiding behind disruption and barriers). I help them stay focussed, deliberate and nimble.
My strengths:
- Results-oriented
- Effective communicator
- Focussed on people - People are the key; they are your team, your Board, your family, your customers and your suppliers.
My greatest accomplishments:
- As Chair of WarmShowers Inc (180,000 cycle touring and hosting members worldwide) led creation of new business model leading to unprecedented revenue growth (300% in 2020 during COVID-19, 400% projected in 2021) and engagement.
- Successfully launched 3 startups (one in architecture, one hospitality and another in health services)
- Successfully managed and implemented Auckland 2000 as CEO of Tourism Auckland: Programme included media and visitor maximisation for Americas Cup Defence, APEC and Millennium Celebrations
- Creation of New Zealand Media Resource Unit
