Governance & Strategic Leadership

You don’t need more reports.
You need aligned leadership that moves things forward.

Whether it’s an infrastructure project, a kaupapa on pause, or a governance group searching for clarity—my role is to restore flow, bring people together, and get the work done in a way that honours both the outcome and how we get there.

I’m often brought in when things feel stuck.
Stalled projects. Friction between parties. A strategy that makes sense on paper but hasn’t landed in real life.

I don’t just manage tasks—I lead kaupapa.
With rhythm, clarity, and relational trust.

What I offer

  • For kaupapa that require coordination across community, government, iwi, landowners, and other stakeholders. I bridge gaps, hold timelines, and ensure the kaupapa moves without compromising the integrity of those involved.

    • Kaupapa-based project management

    • Infrastructure + environmental projects

    • Relationship brokering + alignment

    • On-the-ground momentum holding

    If it’s stalled, sensitive, or layered—I’m the one they call.

  • I support boards, trusts, iwi entities, and community groups to lead well, govern with intention, and hold their kaupapa with care.

    • Governance and building operational structure

    • Alignment across values, outcomes, and people

    • Collective leadership strengthening

    Good governance is more than compliance—it’s cultural, political, and deeply relational. I help kaupapa move through complexity with clarity.

  • Sometimes you know what you want to build—you just need the space and structure to map it out. I work with founders and executives to draw out their long-term vision and anchor it in something real.

    • Long-term impact planning

    • Strategic anchoring + rhythm mapping

    • Founder/leader support through change

    • Strategy rooted in values and whakapapa

    This is slow, deep, meaningful work—for those who are building something that will outlive them.
