About Me

Hey there, I'm Chris

I’m passionate about making our world a better place through the power of people, technology and sustainable ecosystems working together in harmony. I enjoy working with clients and businesses, understanding their ideas, concepts or needs and enabling real solutions that deliver results with modern technology.

My experience includes 18+ years in the IT and Communications industry, playing a core role in enabling business, customer and product capability through the use of digital technology for the New Zealand market. I was first introduced to the Salesforce ecosystem in 2008 and have been hooked ever since.

In my spare time, I enjoy being behind the wheels, exploring the coast and beaches, great coffee, food and catching up with friends and family. I also love finding and producing music that brings people love, joy and happiness and elevates our spirits to a higher level.

I’m always down to collaborate when I have the time. Reach out and let’s chat!
