Welcome to my website.
The site provides you with an introduction to my professional achievements. My career over the past 15 years has spanned a mix of roles within local and national government to highly influential roles within advertising, marketing and communications.
Over the past ten years, I have been actively involved and extremely successful in the field of marketing and management of city centres and retail business precincts, both in a major tourist region of New Zealand and in a high socio suburban area of New Zealand's largest city, Auckland.
My business specialities lie in my abilities to ...
Identify unique and innovative ways to grow business / raise profile;
Deliver major, challenging projects, including high profile destination events; and influence the market place via strategic media communications, advertising and marketing initiatives.
I am highly professional in my approach and highly regarded by past employers and referees. I have been involved in setting up an array of high profile initiatives including the establishment of a quality glossy magazine to promote Remuera shopping centre in Auckland NZ. I am a creative writer and have had articles published in various newspapers and lifestyle magazines. I am also a skilled public speaker, having been a sought after for a variety of engagements from Rotary group meetings, to presentations at international conferences.
I am a close follower of topical issues. In particular, I am interested in consumer trends - baby boomer generation influences in the market place, Gen X & Gen Y.
