Governance & Strategic Leadership


Reports and data offer insight—but they’re not the whole picture.

Whether it's an infrastructure project, a kaupapa on pause, or a governance group seeking alignment, I help restore flow, reconnect relationships, and move things forward with clarity and care.

I’m often invited into spaces where things feel stuck: stalled momentum, cross-purpose conversations, or strategies that make sense on paper but lack traction in practice.

What I bring is more than project management. It’s relational leadership rooted in rhythm, mauri, and trust.

I read the room, name what’s unspoken, and lead with integrity—anchoring the outcome and how we get there.

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, 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.
