You have to have vision, someone up that mast looking out to the future. That’s what’s important.

Challenges and achieving success motivate me.

I have a strong sense of professionalism, responsibility and work ethic.

I like to lead decision making of difficult and complex matters.

I enjoy diversity of thought and bringing together the views of professionals and the board to improve the economic and social wealth of the organisation.

I am an experienced director of public, private and social enterprises, and a former Chief Executive. I have worked in a vast number of industries for over twenty years as a Board director, Board Audit Committee Chair and Board Chair. I have extensive executive experience in management and accounting leadership roles in the forestry, timber, pulp and paper and related consumer marketing and building supplies retail industry sectors.
