Award-winning full-stack marketer and ethically minded entrepreneur with over 6 years of experience in building and scaling cutting edge marketing for category-leading B2B SaaS businesses, Xero, A2X and Tradify, through my consulting firm Hypergiant.
Practising what I preach, I co-founded, and drive growth at Paintvine, New Zealand's largest creative events business hosting over 1000+ events annually.
