Constantly Evolving and Building Capability for Business
I work in Wellington as an Innovation Specialist Business Growth Manager. I work as an enabler for customers businesses in the region. We are continuously learning about new products and knowledge to help build capability for business. I see my role as a communicator and relationship builder where I can connect innovators and entrepreneurs with the right expertise to advance their vision and build their capabilities.
Sir Paul Callaghan inspires me with his legacy and how his advocacy has motivated students to study science and STEM subjects. My team at Callaghan Innovation continue to push the commercialisation of science and drive businesses to keep building and growing New Zealand's economy.
Through my work I have helped a start-up business receive R&D funding for designing and building a manufacturing robot. These robots will transform and improve efficiencies as well as reduce operational costs for the manufacturing sector in New Zealand.
