As CEO of Orchestras Central, I'm all about delivering amazing experiences to our community. I have also been CEO of the Te Awamutu Chamber of Commerce and have a background in business development, strategy and change. I facilitate strategy workshops for the For Purpose Sector as I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that these organisations face, often with limited resources - whether, funds, people and time, and love helping others create meaningful, achievable goals that can form legacies for good!
I was in the first cohort for CELF Elevate. This is not just the usual ‘challenging and rewarding’ but also an absolute treasure trove of learning (which I use every day), and amazing connections. I'm now co-Chair of the CELF Board of Trustees. I have a long involvement with startup businesses and for 16 years have worked with MSD evaluating business plans. I’m passionate about making social enterprises stronger and more resilient, and helping people with great little ideas get started on the road of entrepreneurship. I chair Pirongia Tourism, manage a clutch of social media sites, an media spokesperson for TRON, and in my spare time enjoy spending time with friends and family, and discovering great food and coffee around NZ.
I describe myself as a 'connector of people' and believe I bring passion, integrity and energy to the organisations I work with.
