"I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people." Mahatma GhandiLeadership, and Business Model creation and disruption, are my passions. Working with a range of businesses across various global sectors allows me to push and pull the best aspects from various business models into the path of others - a wonderful source of opportunity often through conflict and change.My entrepreneurial and positive mindset sees possibilities and not barriers. I am a creative strategist who excels at team building and culture development. As a leader, I lead through vision. I have a deep understanding of global markets, sales processes and customer dynamics. I bring cross-cultural competency and senior government level engagement to an organisation.My love of connecting with people, travel, and experiencing new cultures brought me to NZTE. I love the variety and challenge of dealing in multiple foreign markets. NZTE provided me the opportunity to work with some of New Zealand's fastest growing businesses at the strategic leadership level.
