I am an experienced senior leader with a passion for leading people and driving improvement across business teams and processes. I lead with my heart and take pride in developing a high performing team. With over 7 years of leadership experience, I am strategic and considered in my leadership approach and have genuine concern for people, their wellbeing and safety.I have over two decades of experience in the Energy and Infrastructure industry, and in this time, I have held diverse roles including engineering, project management, programme and construction delivery roles, and senior management roles as the Auckland Development Manager and Regional Services Manager, mostly working at Transpower, NZ's National Grid Owner. As the Auckland Development Manager, I played a pivotal role in driving initiatives to meet customer needs, manage stakeholder relationships, and implement strategic projects and initiatives aligned with the organization’s objectives.Currently as the Regional Services Manager, I lead a team (of Service Delivery and Service Performance Managers) who is the custodian of the National Grid, delivering reliable and resilient service to our connected customers in the Upper North Island region.I have also worked as the Manager for Construction Delivery at Watercare, leading the teams delivering major projects essential to Auckland's infrastructure development. Tasked with a billion-dollar delivery programme, I had been instrumental in resetting troubled projects, enhancing safety standards, improving team capability, and fostering strong partnerships with internal and external stakeholders.Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time outdoors with my kids, Ria and Ryan. Occasionally, my husband, Rudy and I go kayak fishing in the sheltered Magazine Bay at Maraetai, enjoy the sunrise and share a picnic.
