About Me

“Builder of enduring ventures | Trusted hand when the stakes are real | Connector of exceptional people. What has consistently energised me is helping bring new possibilities into existence, especially where complexity, relationships, and judgement matter. I am drawn to situations without a playbook: a founder at an inflection point, a venture that is stuck, a family enterprise at a crossroads, an opportunity that needs shaping, or a situation where trust, clarity and the right connections can change the outcome. These days I work selectively across a medley of roles, projects and investments in New Zealand and internationally. My interests span property, private equity, venture capital, litigation funding, listed assets, and ventures where thoughtful collaboration can create real value. I am curious about opportunities to collaborate with people who are building, rethinking, repairing or unlocking something worthwhile; particularly where the answer is not obvious and the stakes are real.
