Growing up in New Zealand, I was deeply inspired by the fearless spirit of our pioneering sportspeople and innovators—those who dared to take on the world, no matter the odds stacked against them. With the right mindset and the right team, I believe anything is possible. I carried this ethos with me when I left New Zealand, and it’s been the foundation of my career leading high-performing, purpose-driven teams across tech, telecom, and finance. I specialize in turning bold ideas into sustainable growth—whether that means revitalizing struggling businesses, scaling innovative ventures, or breaking through corporate inertia to launch new digital businesses. Career highlights include contributing to and leading the transformation of Telia Carrier (now Arelion) from a distressed asset into the world’s #1 Internet backbone provider—culminating in a 9 billion SEK exit—and founding Telia’s Division X, which established the company as a leader in IoT and digital innovation. These successes were built on a customer-centric philosophy, a focus on what truly matters, and empowering teams to overcome what doesn’t. I thrive in dynamic, multicultural environments and believe that curiosity, grit, and a shared sense of purpose are the keys to sustained success. My leadership is about setting high expectations, building trust, and enabling teams to deliver extraordinary results—no matter the odds.
