Board director · Auckland
Board oversight for the risks that are hardest to see.
I help boards turn complex technology, cyber security, and transformation risk into clear oversight, assurance, and sound decisions. Current executive judgement, governance discipline, and a steady hand under pressure.
Approach
Boards carry accountability for risks that grow more technical and more material every year. Cyber, data, artificial intelligence, and large transformation now sit close to the centre of performance, resilience, and reputation. I help directors govern these well. Asking the right questions. Testing assurance. Holding management to account without taking over their work.
What I bring
Assured oversight
I translate technology and cyber risk into board level decisions and trade offs, so directors govern with evidence rather than anxiety.
Current and credible
As a serving Chief Information Officer, Shared Services, in an Autonomous Crown entity environment, I bring present day insight into management reality, and the discipline to respect the line between governance and management.
Values led
My practice is grounded in te ao Māori and guided by manaaki, tika, and kawenga. Integrity, public trust, and responsibility to those who come after.
