Since 2020, I’ve been based in Ngamotu/New Plymouth leading the unique New Plymouth Partners Programme - 50 corporate, public sector organisations and individuals who give philanthropically to city assets and programmes. Since launching in 2000/1 the Programme has generated $11M+ in new $’s for major projects and community assets enhancements. In addition, I chair the Govett-Brewster Foundation which is Gallery’s philanthropic partner. The Foundation manages the 190 individuals, companies and organisations who have gifted/invested $15M since 2015, including building the new Len Lye Centre.
Prior to 2000, I held the following positions, based in Wellington:
