Working the last 20+ years in Managed and Professional Service businesses, both here in NZ and Canada (remote), has provided me the amazing opportunity to work across most industries and with exceptionally talented technical and incredibly powerful non-technical stakeholders from around the world.

I have a strong instinct for process improvement and broad range of skills when it comes to data. I can help a business in a multitude of ways, from managing and troubleshooting data to analysing business processes, performing gap analysis, and recommending improvements.

I have successfully rebuilt an underperforming, globally distributed team of individuals into a  tight unit of highly skilled Oracle Consultants, with the ability to adapt quickly to change and motivated to exceed client expectations.

I’m one part Information Protection and Data Governance Specialist, two parts Business Process and Data and Analyst, three parts SQL database administrator and four parts project and people manager.

I’ve done all this from my home office in Nelson, NZ.

The services I can provide you with are:

  • Data Analysis
  • Business Process Analysis
  • Information Protection Administration and Data Governance
  • Microsoft Data Platform
  • Project Management support and Scrum Master
  • People Management
  • Process Improvement
  • Power Platform support
  • Reporting
  • Incident Management and Risk Analysis
  • Technical Writing and Documentation
  • Cross functional communications

You’re keen to tackle that next big goal — you’re just not quite sure how to get there.

That’s where I come in.

I help growth-minded people and organisations find and communicate their purpose.

Life and career coaching

Ambitious millennial in New Zealand or Australia? I’ll help you navigate life changes with 1:1 coaching that defines your purpose — and a roadmap to fulfil it.

Marketing consulting

As a dynamic leader who represents diverse thinking and inspires others to drive positive change through technology and innovation, I have helped businesses across Aotearoa and internationally grow and thrive while making positive impacts on the environment and society.

Recognised as a digital business growth strategist, I have proven experience in generating high market impact and activating emerging and prevailing business opportunities. I have helped start-ups and large multinationals succeed across full business lifecycles, including fundraising, growth acceleration, acquisition, exit, and global expansion.

I believe that the foundation for growth starts with developing high-performing cultures and transformational leadership. With my expertise and experience, I am passionate about helping people and organisations succeed and create value for future generations.

Several years ago, I found myself on the sideline, watching my husband work through the challenges of running a family owned business.  At the same time I was working for a government organisation as a workplace coach and trainer.  In both spaces the daily challenges centred around one key area – people.  Since that time, I have been fascinated with working and understanding why people do what they do and how to create an environment that allows both leaders and those on the floor to work together and find success individually and collectively.

I believe that so many issues that businesses face can be resolved through good communication, clear systems and processes and leaders that take the time to engage with their people.  With a bachelor in business, specialising in Human Resources and my experience operating at an executive level as Head of HR, I am able to bring you a range of services in the people space from both the compliant side of HR to looking at how to build and improve culture and engagement.   With developed skills and tools, I can help guide businesses to create a culture that can set themselves and their people up for success.   

As a digital presence expert, I specialise in helping businesses scale their online operations, design stunning websites, and develop impactful brands.

With my guidance and strategic insights, businesses can unlock their full potential in the digital realm. Whether you’re a startup looking to establish a strong online foundation or an established company seeking to expand your reach, I provide tailored solutions to meet your unique goals.

From crafting visually captivating websites that engage and convert visitors to creating compelling brand identities that resonate with your target audience, I am dedicated to helping businesses leave a lasting impact in the digital landscape.

With a deep understanding of the latest industry trends and a keen eye for effective design, I bring expertise and innovation to every project. Together, we’ll navigate the ever-evolving digital landscape and create a comprehensive online presence that sets you apart from the competition.

Let’s collaborate and take your business to new heights. Together, we’ll shine a light on your online presence and make your brand shine brighter than ever before.

Looking forward to meet you,  Lucy
