Strategic Leadership & Innovation

Visionary Thinking

• Established Thermosash Service & Maintenance as a Greenfields service and maintenance venture, structuring its independent P&L from March 2024, ensuring operational autonomy within a 51-year-old company while integrating digital service tracking for scalable growth.

• Transformed Auckland Flashing Solutions from a manual, analogue workshop into a fully digital CNC-driven operation, more than doubling revenue while maintaining cost efficiency, implementing workflow automation, precision manufacturing, and advanced procurement modeling.

• Engineered Agile as a direct response to industry stagnation and supply chain collapse, creating an alternative façade system that eliminated reliance on extruders, allowing any aluminium sheet metal supplier to become a viable resource, delivering supply chain independence, cost predictability, and rapid manufacturing scalability.

• Redefined industry standards for adaptability, designing multi-system integration capabilities within Agile’s modular façade framework, ensuring compatibility with multiple cladding solutions, driving adoption across various market segments.

Decision-Making & Disruptive Innovation

• Spearheaded a financial turnaround at TBS Group, shifting from record losses to over $1M EBIT in just 24 months through operational restructuring, digital workflow integration, and cost efficiencies.

• Led critical restructuring and rebranding at CIS Group, achieving 50% revenue growth and scaling the business to $6M within 18 months, integrating a fully digital CNC manufacturing workflow for maximum efficiency and quality control.

• Recognised that supply chain volatility was an existential risk, pivoted Agile from concept to execution, creating a modular, scalable manufacturing system that disrupted traditional procurement models, replacing supplier dependency with direct manufacturing capabilities.

• Introduced technology-driven efficiency models at multiple companies, applying digital-first strategies that optimised operational processes, project tracking, and supply chain predictability.

Adaptability & Innovation Execution

• Revitalised Arrow International’s Crown Lynn Place project, which had been shut down by Auckland Council due to compliance failures. Established QA processes that set new industry benchmarks, integrating compliance automation to prevent future disruptions.

• Integrated a self-built ERP-like system at Auckland Flashing Solutions, leveraging Trello, ClockShark, SharePoint, and Xero, optimising workflow automation, resource tracking, and real-time job costing despite no automated purchasing system initially in place.

• Turned COVID-driven material shortages into an opportunity, shifting Agile from a theoretical alternative to an industry-proofed system, ensuring businesses under my leadership weren’t trapped by global supply chain failures.

• Embedded innovation into financial and operational models, ensuring that business transformation wasn’t reactive but built into structural frameworks, creating repeatable, scalable success strategies.

Agile wasn’t just a new system—it was a strategic pivot that redefined control, scalability, and resilience in an industry previously shackled by outdated supply chains.

Process Optimisation

• Implemented lean manufacturing principles at Auckland Flashing Solutions, reducing material waste by 25% and procurement costs by 15%, driving cost efficiency without compromising quality.

• Designed and deployed workflow automation at CIS Group, integrating Trello-based ERP tracking to streamline job costing and financial workflows, ensuring seamless project execution and financial transparency.

• Built Agile as a system that redefined supply chain flexibility, eliminating dependency on single-source extruders and allowing adaptive procurement across multiple suppliers, significantly reducing risk and material lead times.

Buiness / Project Management

• • Successfully led high-value remedial and façade projects at CIS Group, ensuring compliance with strict quality and safety standards, delivering on time and within budget.

  • Managed multi-million-dollar cladding remediation projects at Stanley Construction, delivering Registered Master Builder Gold Award-winning projects, setting new benchmarks for excellence in façade remediation.

  • Oversaw complex, high-risk industrial projects, balancing compliance, logistics, and execution efficiency, ensuring profitable, scalable project outcomes.

Quality Assurance

• • Developed QA processes at Arrow International, leading to Auckland Council using Crown Lynn Place as a case study for industry best practices, reinforcing structured compliance-driven execution.

  • Ensured Thermosash Service & Maintenance adhered to the highest façade remediation standards, securing long-term corporate contracts through a reputation for uncompromising quality.

  • Spearheaded ISO 14001 certification for CIS Group, ensuring compliance with globally recognised environmental management standards, strengthening sustainability, regulatory alignment, and operational responsibility.

  • Led TBS Group through its first-ever ACC audit in 27 years, implementing comprehensive safety, risk, and compliance frameworks. Prior to this, the business division lacked structured records, QA/QC, and HSE compliance. By establishing robust operational governance, the business passed the audit, setting a new benchmark for accountability and regulatory compliance.

  • Created a structured QA framework within Agile, ensuring its modular façade system met or exceeded traditional extrusion-based systems in durability, installation efficiency, and compliance.

Quality isn’t just about compliance—it’s about building trust, mitigating risk, and ensuring operational resilience.
