There have always been two clear ambitions for me in my work. The first is to help create places of work that are inspirational to be involved with. If you've been lucky enough to work for such a place you'll know they create high trust, high energy, creative teams that encourage personal growth and development.

The second ambition is to live by and uphold the highest standards of personal integrity and transparency. There have been moments when this has required dogged perseverance and not every situation gets managed perfectly. However, there is no substitute for honesty

Equipped with these ambitions, I have had the honour to lead the MUMA Group, a range of social and business enterprises. Under my leadership, the senior management team added many millions of dollars of value to these enterprises, in financial, social and human capital terms. We established a State Integrated School (Waatea School) and a $1.25million purpose-built Early Childhood Centre (Waatea ECC). Together, we led MUMA’s Covid-19 community response which included establishing a logistics centre that handled many hundreds of tonnes of bulk food and reached over 100,000 whānau/families via the Taumata Korero collective of Auckland-based Māori providers.

Over the years I have led and helped navigate numerous governance and management crisis, launched numerous new initiatives and found safe haven for enterprises under duress. I know that succeeding at business is more about effectively managing the people involved than any other single factor.
