We help New Zealand organisations turn their investment in data, analytics and AI into commercial return — without the cost of a permanent executive hire.
New Zealand organisations have invested heavily in data and marketing technology over the last five years — Snowflake, Databricks, Salesforce, CDPs, governance tooling, AI platforms. Most of that capital is now committed. The returns have not followed at the same pace — and the reason is rarely the technology itself.
Bought, built and largely delivered.
And an honest commercial view.
The outcome the investment was signed off for.
This layer is rarely anyone's job. Implementation partners hand over and leave. Internal teams are consumed by run. And the data leader accountable for it usually has nobody to think it through with.
Our leadership team has sat on all sides of the table. That's rare — and it's the point.
Grew a well-established analytics & insight agency from its early days to CEO of a 30+ person practice. Knows delivery economics, scoping and why engagements go wrong.
GM Data & Analytics at One NZ. Has held the budget and the vendor relationships, and knows what good delivery looks like from the inside.
Hands-on across the full delivery lifecycle — from data models and segmentation logic to campaign operations and production support. The conduit between stakeholders and the technical team, keeping complex engagements on time, on budget and to brief.
The combination is the point — we bring strategy that has actually been delivered, and delivery that understands the commercial case. No juniors. No hand-offs. You work with the people who know the problem.
We carry no implementation revenue. No vendor alignment. No incentive to recommend a bigger platform than the problem needs. Our only interest is the right answer for your business.
Senior Data, Analytics and AI leadership for organisations that need it and can't justify — or fund — a permanent GM or CDO. Two days a week. Transition cover, transformation leadership, or standing capability.
Data and AI strategy, operating model, business cases and investment prioritisation, vendor and platform decisions, AI activation and adoption, and coaching for data leaders.
Getting initiatives out of slide decks and into production. Platform and tooling consolidation, AI ambition to execution, data product operating model.

Interviews across data, marketing, technology and the executive sponsor.
Platform, capability, operating model and spend assessed against what it's returning.
Where the value is leaking, what to fix, and in what order.
Written diagnostic, prioritised roadmap and executive-ready commercial case.
Presented, not emailed. The roadmap is yours to keep and act on, whether or not we work together beyond it.
Three to four weeks. Defined scope, defined deliverable, defined price. The right place to start.
A set number of days a month, minimum three-month term. Scoped to outcomes, not hours.
Strategy, operating model, platform selection or activation — priced against a defined scope.
No bench to keep busy, no pyramid to feed. Small and senior by design — the people you meet are the people who do the work.
Worth a conversation. Even if the answer is that you already know.
