About Me

When I was a teenager my dream was to be in a band and I’ve been going to live music for 40 years. I’ve taken the principles of supporting great acts (management and crew – the roadies) and applied that to working with NZ Small/Medium enterprise. I am here to practically support, and partner you, such that you consistently perform at your best!

Keeping it Real

I don’t meet or work with anyone who was waiting for an opinionated stranger to give them a list of things to do or wrap them up in a programme that someone else devised. I know, having worked in this space for over 5 years, clients want a doer who will work with them to move forwards and be available, ongoing, as a trusted and objective partner.
