Rugby Coach
Auckland Grammar School
- 4 years 6 months
Children
I coached for 4 years at Auckland Grammar, primarily coaching the young teams to instill good work ethic, love of the game and team mates and the skills of rugby, so that they may go on to higher honours and not be impeded by a lack of skill, knowledge or team work.

All Blacks Ad/Poster
This is the Ad/Poster created in 1998 off the back of successful Otago Highlanders launch campaign.Creative Director Dave Burke pitched the concept to the NZRU and we were given the green light to promote the first test match at Carisbrook in approximately 15 years.
Note, this is a photo of the doublepage ad due to me losing my portfolio while travelling in 2002.Other creators -

It was a pleasure to speak with Rosalyn Page from CRN Australia about how Australia’s productivity ambitions are increasingly tied to digital transformation, yet the shortage of digital skills is holding businesses back. The article discusses the pivotal role partners play, with clients turning to them for strategic planning, governance and workforce training. The rise of agentic AI is prompting clients to seek partners that can help embed AI into operations, deliver optimal experiences and enable more differentiated products and services. This is a time of incredible change and transformation, and it presents a huge opportunity for all organisations. But it’s not just technical skills that will shape the future. Human-centred capabilities like critical thinking and business skills will be essential to making AI work for people and productivity.

At the AFR Business Summit earlier this year, I spoke about the value of starting small with AI, building momentum and delivering impact with measurable outcomes. That same approach was front and centre in our discussion with SAP at Government Innovation Day, featured in The Mandarin’s latest article on agentic AI in the public sector. The opportunity for governments is clear: modernise without major disruption, integrate AI into existing systems, and focus on practical results - from aligning budgets with sustainability goals to improving citizen services through faster and more transparent decisions. Thanks to Ryan van Leent, Dr. Chris Nokkentved and Denise Lucero for the meaningful discussion that affirms how small steps in AI adoption can lead to big change.

🎙 AI in 5 .. 🎙 Want to instantly 10x your work outputs? Maybe a digital twin is the answer! In this episode I talk with Mark Dando. Mark is the CEO of ProxyTwin and has built many digital twins for Australian business leaders. This episode is a little longer than usual because after we discuss digital twins, we are joined by one! Yep, the digital twin of Jackie Svedas join us for a few fun questions (and one really bad joke). Can't wait to get new episodes here? You can now find us on Spotify and YouTube by searching for 'AI in 5 minicast'....
