Export specialist in Canterbury

My role as a Navigator for Callaghan Innovation means that I work with a wide variety of companies from startup to maturity. I help them find the best ways to innovate, complete R&D and provide support around company capability building and growth. I am based in Christchurch and so my customers are drawn from the wider Canterbury region.

I have an extensive background in exporting and have built a supportive and connected network of export companies in our region. My interest and early expertise in this came directly from Sir Ken Stevens of Glidepath who helped open up the world of export and company growth for me to grow my skills.

I get great fulfilment by learning how to help companies thrive and grow.
