In my role at Dawn Aerospace, I oversee the end-to-end supply chain for satellite propulsion systems across multiple international sites. My focus is on ensuring a smooth flow of materials and information throughout the business while integrating problem-solving technology into manufacturing processes.

Previously I worked at Fisher & Paykel Healthcare where I gained a strong foundation in high-tech manufacturing within a highly regulated industry. I also recently completed a term as Treasurer for the Temple Basin Ski Club, managing financial oversight and contributed to the governance of the organisation.

I’m practical and well rounded, staying closely connected to frontline operations. I enjoy going from idea to reality by helping teams to bridge the gap between ‘engineering and design’ to ‘hands-on production’.

Manufacturing is, to me, a cornerstone of value creation and prosperity delivering extraordinary outcomes for individuals, companies, and nations that choose to do it well.
