Statement

I recall an interview in July that Scoop did with ex-Mayor Warren Cooper. In it he stated that the one aspect missing from the current Council is Business acumen. I bring that.

I’ve been a Queenstown resident for 25-years and understand the challenges —from housing affordability and sustainable tourism to significant infrastructure issues. What’s missing from Council today is business experience.

With a strong background in property and technology at the highest levels in NZ, I offer commercial expertise to tackle real issues, like a $250M road diversion that hasn’t eased congestion, uncosted gondola proposals, and infrastructure under significant strain.

Queenstown needs smart, value-driven leadership. I’ll advocate for practical, commercially sound solutions that reflect better value for ratepayers.

This world-class destination now needs world-class governance. I am solely focused on outcomes, not headlines. Queenstown has my loyalty. If elected, it will have the benefit of my extensive business experience also.
