I'm a Strategic Consultant working across public and private sectors, bringing analytical rigour and an instinct for drawing out and making sense of what different stakeholders actually need — to problems that don't have easy answers.
From Complexity to Clarity
Data & Analysis
Turning complex data into clear, actionable insight. From demand forecasting and business intelligence to Power BI dashboards that decision makers actually use.
People & Process
Building consensus across diverse stakeholder groups - clinical teams, executives, analysts, and boards — in environments where alignment doesn't come easily.
Strategy & Change
Translating analysis into decisions, and decisions into movement. Helping organisations that know they need to change but can't quite get there.
Work That Moved Things
A few examples of what this looks like in practice.
National Radiology Reporting Framework - Health New Zealand
Built an analytical reporting framework for radiology services across the Waikato and Midland Region that was subsequently adopted as best practice across New Zealand. The goal wasn't just to deliver something - it was to build something that would actually be used.
Aged Care Demand Forecasting - DHB Shared Services
Led a national aged care forecasting publication comparing actual bed supply and demand against the ARC Demand Model across all New Zealand DHBs. With a 95% survey response rate across 651 facilities and forecast accuracy reaching 97–100%, the work gave health planners a reliable evidence base for long-term capacity decisions.
Healthcare Portfolio Management - Health New Zealand
Managed a $27.7M healthcare portfolio across Outsourced Radiology, Community Orthotics, Palliative Care, and Maternity and Sexual Health — bringing financial discipline and strategic coherence to a complex multi-provider environment.
ED Overflow Intelligence - Healthcare BI
Designed and built a Power BI dashboard for a multi-site hospital network tracking patient flow, triage levels, and Length of Stay breach rates across 12 facilities and 412,000+ patient records - giving network decision makers a single, real-time view across geographically distributed sites.
Technology Platform Transformation - Pub Charity
As sole-charge Project Manager, led end-to-end delivery of a critical infrastructure refresh to reduce operational risk across the organisation. Established RFQ criteria, ran the full tender process, and led the project team from business case through to deployment - achieving operational efficiencies and improved decision-making capability organisation-wide. Delivered in an Agile environment with high stakeholder visibility throughout.
I work with leaders in complex organisations who know they need to change but can't quite get there — by turning their own data, people and processes into the clarity they need to move.
My background spans three decades across government, healthcare, and the private sector — from sole-charge financial oversight of NZ$200M+ in international payments at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade, to national aged care forecasting, healthcare portfolio management, and consulting across New Zealand and Southeast Asia. What connects those contexts is a consistent focus on the same problem: bridging the gap between insight and action.
I'm based in Hamilton and work with clients across New Zealand and remotely.
