CEO and Chartered Accountant

My 'Why' is to help and support NZ businesses to be the best they can be, even reaching and achieving what they thought was impossible. 

My passion is to work alongside business owners so they can learn and improve all aspects of their business and have the confidence to make sound decisions. It makes me and then FEEL GOOD. We share the wins.

The reason why I wake up and want to do work for Altitude is because I love helping our clients. I am passionate about being there for our clients, helping them with what matters to them now, and ideally help them grow their business to levels they previously would never have considered.

Chartered Accountant

I am a chartered accountant registered with the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA). Lived in South Africa, where I ran my own accounting and audit practice before moving to New Zealand.

One of the most distinctive traits of great leaders is their ability to inspire, motivate, challenge and support their people to succeed and grow to their full potential. This is the service that Altitude Advisors provide for each and every client, to be a strong team behind you so that you can climb the mountains ahead and I am proud to be part of this team.
