My background combines a career in education with over a decade in New Zealand Police, including roles as Detective Sergeant and Tactical Intelligence Officer. I’ve also spent a lot of time involved in nonprofit and faith-based organisations.

That combination gives me the ability to assess complex situations quickly, understand what’s actually at stake, and determine what response is needed, before the situation becomes harder to manage.

I work primarily with schools, tertiary institutions, charities and nonprofit organisations across New Zealand and Australia. These are environments where relationships matter, reputation is everything, and the stakes of getting things wrong are high.

When a situation requires it, I draw on a trusted network of specialists in investigation, mediation, and employment law to assemble the right team for your specific circumstances while maintaining the independence your organisation needs.

Boards and leaders engage Basalt Solutions when they need more than procedure. They need someone who understands the weight of what they’re dealing with, and can be trusted to handle it with rigour, discretion and integrity.
