Both sides of the curtain.

I manage arts organisations the way only someone who has stood on stage can — a decade of operations leadership, anchored by a Master of Business Management with distinction, and proven by festival seasons across Aotearoa.

The approach

Two disciplines. One person.

Most arts managers understand the spreadsheet or the stage. The organisations that thrive are run by people who understand both.

The Boardroom
Operations rigour
National multi-site leadership, systems built from scratch, teams onboarded and trained, budgets held. The infrastructure that lets creative work happen.

The Stage
Performance fluency
A decade of active practice across contemporary dance, festivals, and screen. I know what artists need because I have been the artist — and what venues need because I have run one.
