Before launching Basalt Solutions, I spent more than a decade working in the New Zealand Police where I was promoted to the rank of Detective Sergeant. This followed an earlier career in education.

My investigation experience now spans the criminal and civil arenas and includes workplace misconduct, health and safety, child protection, sexual offending, fraud, corruption, insider threats, transnational organised crime and national security incidents across New Zealand and Australia. I’ve led investigations requiring a national security clearance and adherence to strict information security, risk management and legal protocols, facilitating cross-border intelligence and evidence-sharing. I have led multi-disciplinary teams comprised of investigators, digital forensic experts, intelligence analysts, intelligence officers, and forensic accountants. I’ve led multi-agency operations and collaborated with a range of private entities and government agencies. 

In 2024, I launched Basalt Solutions with the aim of applying my tradecraft to help my clients navigate emerging risks and challenges. Basalt Solutions has delivered services across New Zealand and Australia in sectors including education, non-profit, and commercial.

Good leadership isn’t about always doing everything yourself. It’s also about knowing when to collaborate. That’s why I maintain a trusted network of specialists I can call on whenever your case demands it. This approach ensures you always receive a premium, reliable service backed by the right skills for the job.
