“Tony bought a unique perspective to the co-operative, able to navigate the breadth of the enterprise. He can connect the dots from technology to people and change.

More importantly he is able to clearly define a winning strategy and communicate with the customer facing teams through to the exec. Tony helped me open many opportunities for Retail team across the supply chain, pricing, and loyalty programmes”

“In my role as NIWA’s Manager – Marketing and Industry Engagement I have had the opportunity to work across multiple industry sectors and consequently have had the opportunity to meet with very many people engaged in innovation, systems and technology development and in marketing and commercialisation roles. Tony is that very rare breed of executive manager who is able to successfully operate across the technical and commercial divide in a way that is both professional and relational.

Our paths crossed when Tony was GM Innovation for Farmlands and from 2015 we had occasion to jointly develop and apply a number of innovations and technologies, were partnered in a national IoT trial with a range of 3rd party players across the primary and telecommunications sectors, and worked together on various strategic initiatives for our own and other companies. This has meant that I got to know Tony very well and I can say without hesitation that if you are wanting assistance with your strategic planning, enterprise systems architecture development or need someone to develop a technology or product strategy and to assist with execution then look no further - Tony is your man.”
