The Laird Online
A few years back, a journo coined a nickname for me - The Laird - as an acknowledgment to my Scottish heritage. Explore the world of business management innovation through my eyes and join me on a journey of insights, ideas, and inspiration as I navigate the realms of entrepreneurship and creativity.
From Scotland to New Zealand
The castle view was not quite the outlook I grew up with, but it was where my nephew and his lovely bride had their wedding ceremony not so long ago. Fond memories, for sure, but the journey from Scotland to New Zealand has taken in many experiences in the business scene.
A Rich and Eventful Career in Business
From being one of the founding management team at Sovereign Assurance, to leading AIA in both NZ and Australia, to the Boards of Lifetime Group, Provident Insurance, Kiwi Adviser Network, Strategi Group, and Foundation North, my journey has been rich and eventful.
The Laird’s Vision
I aim to bring together a vibrant community of forward-thinking entrepreneurs who are equipped to navigate the complexities of modern business with confidence and creativity.
Through The Laird Online, I envision a platform where innovative ideas are exchanged, and practical solutions are shared, leading to business excellence. I aspire to inspire and support you in your journey towards achieving your ambitions, transforming challenges into opportunities, and bringing out the true potential of your enterprise.
