Experience

Technology, Product & Engineering Leadership

I help organisations turn ambiguity into executable direction across product, engineering, operations, governance, compliance, and customer-facing environments.

My work sits where technology, product direction, operational risk, stakeholder alignment, and execution pressure intersect. Across SaaS, fintech, open banking, banking, telecommunications, and enterprise transformation environments, I have helped organisations improve execution confidence, strengthen leadership visibility, and create scalable operating rhythms.

Recent Leadership Experience

Earlier Experience — Breadth and Repeatability

Earlier roles across Spark NZ, Westpac NZ, ASB, AIA NZ, Mitre 10, Les Mills, AUT, and GoldMind Academy gave me repeated exposure to complex product delivery, enterprise operational alignment, governance uplift, engineering coordination, organisational enablement, and strategic execution.

Breadth across telecommunications, banking, insurance, retail, education, SaaS, and regulated environments — not a list of unrelated roles, but a consistent pattern of leadership in complex contexts.

Strategic Contract Engagements

Over the past decade, many of my engagements have been fixed-term leadership assignments supporting organisations through transformation, scale-up, product evolution, governance uplift, and operating model change.

While the organisations and role titles varied, the consistent focus was helping engineering, product, and leadership teams improve organisational effectiveness, execution confidence, and strategic alignment during periods of significant change.

Where I create the most value

I am strongest in environments where technical ambition, customer expectation, regulatory pressure, and organisational complexity need to be translated into clear operating direction.

I work best with CEOs, founders, COOs, CTOs, product leaders, and engineering leaders who need someone who can create alignment, improve execution confidence, and help teams scale without adding unnecessary bureaucracy.
