I have been with Colliers since 2006, helping Auckland based companies find the right office space and negotiate successful leases.  Having trusted relationships with Auckland's landlords and in-depth knowledge of the office leasing market, I have helped lease 126,000 sqm of commercial office space.

By taking a genuine interest combined with an in-depth knowledge of the Auckland market and the office leasing process, I successfully connect businesses to buildings across Auckland.

Before Colliers, I worked at Microsoft in Sydney and Seattle, as a corporate account manager, looking after a select group of large national and multi-national organisations.  I was recognised for my attention to detail and customer-first approach, allowing me to do what was right for my clients, which in turn created long term wins for Microsoft.
