Driving Taranaki business success
I’m based at Venture Taranaki working as a business advisor tasked with helping local businesses grow through harnessing innovations. This work assists firms in the region to access the support they need in order to be successful. I also deliver startup business support through the Venture Taranaki PowerUp programme.
I have a background in industrial design, consumer insights and new product development. My career started in design consultancy overseas creating award winning consumer products, medical devices and world-first innovations. I was CEO of a design and prototyping company in the UK prior to moving to New Zealand.
