My role as the Head of Product and Innovation for Scenic Hotel Group allows me to make sure the product, fits the region, landscape, and communities they are in. I am actively involved with the growth and development of the incentives market into New Zealand. Taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary by delivering unique experiences that leave your Winners and Qualifiers wanting more as they discover the best of New Zealand's culture and environment.

New Zealand is high on people’s must-do bucket list. I love that I have lived and breathed New Zealand and the industry for 40 years and work for a hotel chain that is New Zealand owned and operated.

Your Winners and Qualifiers are coming here to experience the real New Zealand. My biggest strength is my ability to truly understand this market and I know the country from top to bottom. My business acumen, attention to detail, strong leadership skills and passion for the events and incentives industry have earned the respect and loyalty of my staff, customers, suppliers, and business colleagues. I am looking forward to returning to IMEX to share my knowledge with you and introduce you to what is new.
