Why I'm standing

Wellington has always been my coolest little capital. I grew up here, and now I'm raising my own family here. I'm standing because Wellington has become unaffordable for my family, and for future generations.

About me

I have spent over twenty years running startups and technology companies in Wellington. My products have supported millions of students worldwide. I will bring a future-focused mindset and treat every dollar in the budget like it truly matters. My business acumen, governance experience and commitment to fiscal responsibility ensure I can make sound, practical decisions. With roots in Wellington's creative scene, I'm ready to bring a new energy and set of skills to the table.

My priorities
  1. Keep the city affordable and clean so people stay, so businesses thrive and more jobs are created.
  2. Consult with residents to shape zoning, city access, eg cars and cycles, and more green spaces.
  3. Prioritise infrastructure like pipes, parks and pools over non-essential projects.
