About us, the team at Nexxus

I’m a Chartered Accountant with a degree in Marketing and 15 years experience in corporate and small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SME’s). Before moving back to NZ, I spent five years working for Telstra Australia as General Manager for the NSW Metropolitan area. I readily accepted an invitation to become involved with the Nexxus Group as I believe the direction the company is taking, provides a solid platform for the delivery of retail financial services to an increasingly sophisticated market. The team has a very clear vision of where it needs to go and how to get there.

I’ve been actively involved in the financial services industry since 1987.  I have a Diploma in Business Studies from Massey University.  My professional interests are in personal financial planning and life insurance.  The one thing that keeps me intensely interested is the wide variety of amazing people I get to meet. I am fortunate to be part of a brilliant team of talented people here at Nexxus. 

I run the commercial and rural general insurance activities for the Nexxus Group. The most important thing about commercial insurance is the need to get face to face with clients annually and I am a stickler for this. I am an Associate of the Insurance Institute of NZ (AIINZ) and have been active in the insurance industry for over 25 years.

I am a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and currently vice chairman of  BOP branch of the Financial Planners and Insurance Advisers Association. Eleven years in the financial services industry has allowed me to develop a special interest in Personal Risk and Business Risk Analysis.

My job is to make sure the administration at Nexxus stays on track and to keep our systems running as smoothly as possible. I have been in this role for 11 years and if you’ve spoken to me on the phone we have probably had a good giggle over something.  Providing our clients with prompt and efficient assistance is very important to me.
