I am the leader at Pacific Advisory, a progressive advisory firm in the South Pacific; we work with governments, regional organisations, development partners, corporations, and financial institutions to drive sustainable development initiatives and projects across the Pacific Islands. Our approach maintains a regionally driven perspective on design, implementation, and outcomes.

My work spans the Pacific — advising governments on reform, guiding investors and financial institutions through complex markets, and helping development partners design programmes that actually land. It covers financial and regulatory reform, climate and disaster resilience, digital finance and transformation, governance, and regional security. I also serve as the Vanuatu Government's Special Envoy for International Business/ Development.

I'm a proud dual New Zealand/Vanuatu citizen, and for the last couple of decades, I've committed to creating lasting, positive change in the Pacific Islands. I was awarded the Presidential Medal in 2023 for my work in climate justice. Our mission fosters growth, resilience, and sustainable opportunities for Pacific Islanders, driven by the belief that local insights and knowledge are crucial for effective development.

Beyond my professional life, I'm a proud father of some extraordinary humans, a rugby nut, a coffee aficionado, and a keen photographer. Travel keeps me on my toes, inspires new ideas, and constantly reminds me that we live short lives, so we should wring every bit of joy out of it.

I'd be glad to connect if you're interested in Pacific development, climate matters, finance, or sustainability.
