Pronouns: She / Her

Current role: Co-Founder & CEO, Speak Scents

Current industry: Start-ups - Technology

I lead a start-up Speak, a subscription based fragrance platform that matches people with the right scent for them, from our range. I also contract on marketing and communications projects in the private and public sector.

I have previously worked for advertising agencies across NZ, a data agency helping clients understand and get the most out of using data models to understand their customers, and in client side marketing teams in private and public sector.

My varied experience has led me to where I am today, with the opportunity to combine my skills in a business I am really passionate about. Leading a start-up means I need to wear multiple hats everyday and the different roles and experiences I’ve had help me do this.
