I believe I can add some unique elements to the NZ Chamber of Commerce as I grew up in the small Maori town of Waitara in the 1980’s making me one of the first in Aotearoa to attend Kohanga reo and Kura Kaupapa Maori (Te Pihipihinga Kakano).

These set me up with a foundation of Tikanga Maori from a young age. Tikanga and Reo are very important for me and I am happy share and evolve these concepts that make us uniquely New Zealand.
I attended CoCA - Massey Design School in Wellington where I earnt my Bachelors degree in Industrial Design and as a graduate I obtained a job in Lisbon, Portugal designing packaging for a cosmetic brand. In 2011, I decided go home to Aotearoa and learnt how to create clothing at New Zealand Academy of Fashion and decided to become what I am today, a couturier. Now I am founder and creative director of Lontessa(Singapore) Ltd. Pte.

My family and I have lived in Singapore for four years; our two boys are at UWC East and my wife Pam works for NZTE. We moved to Singapore with my employer Accor Hospitality. I’m the General Manager of Pullman Singapore Orchard a new Hotel opening in December this year and was previously the General Manager of Sales and Marketing for the Fairmont Singapore and Swissotel the Stamford.

I have more than 20 years General Management experience across multiple countries, markets, customer segments and hotel brands. I specialise in bringing cultural and financial change to businesses to deliver a deliver strong long-term results for key stakeholders.

I have held positions on a variety of commercial and advisory boards in the New Zealand tourism and hospitality sectors, where I have represented the interests of members, local government, government, and iwi.

I am adaptable, results driven and positive by nature. Like many industries, we are experiencing interesting and challenging times in hospitality and tourism, regardless of where you are in the world. Such challenges require commitment and resilience, both of which I possess.

Outside work I enjoy exploring Singapore by bike with my family - living on the East Coast makes that easy. Singapore is such a great spot for families and we still have so much to see and do over the years ahead. I also enjoy a glass of decent New Zealand wine when I can get my hands on it.
