“Andrew assisted the Council with its strategic planning recently, and as a completely new entity, this was a challenging task to say the least. The Council found Andrew’s approach personable, refreshing, insightful, and welcomed the wealth of knowledge he brought to the strategic planning day. Prior to the planning day, Andrew demonstrated a willingness to try and understand the profession and gather background information, by engaging with Council members, providers, and professional groups.

A few challenges arose during the day and Andrew was able to manage these well and modify the content and direction of the day to accommodate these. He provided a safe environment for learning and discussions and everyone found the day enjoyable, interactive, and most importantly, productive!”

“Andrew was contracted to develop our 3-year strategic plan for 2023 to 2025. His extensive experience in governance and management, coupled with his practical knowledge of the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 (HPCA Act) and current health reform made him the best option for this task. He had great rapport with our Board and staff alike, and his professional and practical manner in which he worked made it a very easy task.”

“I have worked with Andrew for nearly 15 years, and I hold him in the highest regard. He has consistently demonstrated integrity, curiosity, dedication, and empathy – attributes that will no doubt continue to underpin his mahi and relationships.”

“It has simply been a pleasure to work with you over the last several years. Thinking specifically about the AHRA hui, I could always rely on thoughtful and insightful answers to queries or issues we were discussing at the time. I have been particularly impressed on how you led the Board through the process of aligning to Te Tiriti principles which I could only imagine having challenges. So well done, and go well to the next phase, I have no doubt our paths will cross again! ”
