I work with small-medium businesses and for-purpose organisations to create meaningful change without the big consulting price tag. With 25+ years of hands-on experience - from kitchen table startup to global programmes - I understand the real challenges you face: tight budgets, wearing multiple hats, and needing results that actually stick.
I started my first company with a mobile phone and laptop at my kitchen table, grew it to an 11-person team and scaled it to serve clients across New Zealand, Australia, and Asia. As both a business founder and strategic advisor, I've navigated the same challenges you face: managing cashflow, operational planning, staffing decisions, and growth strategy - all while keeping the lights on. That hands-on experience means you get practical business solutions, not corporate jargon.
While I've worked with large New Zealand and Australia organisations, and global corporates, my passion lies in partnering with purpose-driven leaders and growing businesses across Aotearoa. Recent engagements include Good Bitches Baking, Futures Lab HQ, Education Partnership and Innovation Trust, Brighton Art Gallery Trust, Ako Ōtautahi Learning City Christchurch, Te Uru Amokura Springboard Trust, and ambitious SMEs across technology, professional services, education, and community sectors.
As your business consultant and trusted partner, I provide:
Strategic planning for non-profits and SMEs – Affordable, actionable roadmaps aligned with your mission and budget
Organisational transformation – People-centric change management that sticks
Operational planning – Bridge the gap between vision and execution
Business growth strategy – Scale up or strengthen foundations sustainably
Leadership consulting – Executive coaching and advisory for founders, owners, and trustees
Culture transformation – Build future-ready organizations connected to people and communities
You don't need big consulting fees to achieve meaningful growth. I work alongside you as an accessible strategic advisor - co-designing business strategies and operational plans tailored to your reality, resources, and goals. Whether you're launching, scaling, or navigating organisational change, get the experienced guidance you deserve at a price that works for you.
You deserve strategic guidance that understands your constraints and celebrates your mission. Let's create sustainable, people-centred change that drives real impact, cost effectively.
