About Me 

My life has been enriched by valuable connections through various projects working with people at all levels. With over 30 years building iconic clothing brands like Line 7 and CCC, my journey has been incredible. My hands-on experience includes significant successes and failures, offering invaluable life lessons. I've also launched and managed my own businesses, giving me greater understanding to startup pressures and financial challenges.

Coaching executives, business owners, and leaders has fueled my passion for helping others grow their businesses.

Giving back is one of my main motivations.

 

IT- Infrastructure: 

To fully understand IT you need real life experience

Infrastructure includes hardware, software, facilities, cloud based platforms and services that support business systems and IT processes.

IT technologies have advanced rapidly, making it challenging to keep up with business needs and control costs effectively. I have experience with multiple cloud platforms, managing server centers, reviewing best practices, automation, and implementing SOPs to build robust systems tailored to businesses.

 

Operations: 

I started in production and operations. When I was at Line 7, I was involved in local manufacturing and offshore manufacturing from multiple countries like India, Fiji, Pakistan, China & Taiwan. From running our own manufacturing plant, planning and IT strategies. I then did another two years in Operations at CCC Australia and NZ when they needed help. This included overseeing the NZ warehouse, 3PL in Australia, 

With years of experience and a deep understanding of operations, I'm committed to providing top-notch consulting services tailored to meet your unique needs.  

 

Organisations

I currently serve on six trusts, including those for churches and soccer leagues. I assist with governance, financial stewardship, structure, legal requirements, systems, and vision. I believe in the importance of contributing to others and our communities, which is a guiding value in my work.


In every organisation I'm involved with, I have great relationships with all the leaders and teams. These relationships are built on trust.
