Accomplished in solving complex strategic and operational problems, building consensus between disparate organisations and individuals to ensure coherent action and deliver superior outcomes, in resource scarce and time constrained environments. I have successfully represented the highest levels of the NZ Government across the SW Pacific, managing complex issues at the interface between international and domestic politics and strategy. I am an accomplished leader and manager, recently being responsible, over a sustained period of time (four years), of leading multiple diverse planning and project management teams of up to forty people. I have been responsible for ensuring these high performing teams meet restrictive deadlines to produce project management plans that demand superior results with minimal tolerance for error. In this capacity, I have a proven record of ensuring timelines are met, senior stakeholder endorsement is gained, and the outcomes are delivered to the highest standards in the most effective way as possible.
