Why I'm standing

I am standing for council because Wellington needs stronger communities and smarter decisions, especially in the city's political, economic and cultural heart, giving confidence we can measurably improve economic, environmental, social and cultural outcomes.

About me

I am a former Treasury official and currently an IMF expert. I have spent decades helping governments invest wisely. I believe what matters most is every decision delivers real value to the communities it affects. I am about systems and people. As chair of the Aotearoa Community Resilience Network trust, I am working to build grassroots resilience, helping people connect and be able to speak into decision making. I want to bring that same approach to Wellington.
