Your leadership style is collaborative and empowering, with strong people management, budgeting, and forecasting capabilities. You're skilled at building capability within teams and fostering high-performing environments aligned with organisational goals.
You demonstrate advanced knowledge of business continuity best practice within large, complex organisations, and have a sound understanding of the Health and Disability system. You are committed to upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi and applying its principles meaningfully in your work. With exceptional relationship management and influencing skills, you build strong partnerships across diverse groups.
