I have over 25 years experience in the banking and financial services sectors in New Zealand, the Middle East and Asia holding a number of senior roles in Institutional Banking, Wealth and Private Banking and Country Management.

The diverse markets I have operated in, along with a deep exposure to a variety of cultures, countries, industries and businesses, have helped develop me as a leader who is agile, curious and with demonstrated capability in developing high performing teams and leading through change. I have also extensive experience in engaging and building stronger relationships with a wide range of stakeholders including customers, regulators and Government.

A key focus has been around identifying and executing on productivity initiatives while building a growth based strategic vision. I enjoy being part of a team and have a style of leadership that is open, inclusive and collaborative.

Furthermore, I am passionate about helping to build economies and deepening international engagement and have participated in a variety of industry and external bodies to support this - such as Fulbright New Zealand, the NZUS Council, the American Chamber of Commerce in New Zealand and Otago University.
