Translating financial wisdom into enduring community strength

It’s a privilege to share a little about my journey and my deep commitment to Momentum Waikato.
Some of you might know me through my role as COO at Kiwi Innovation Network, where I support the transformation of groundbreaking research into real-world ventures. Both my ‘day job’ and my involvement with community-focussed organisations speak deeply to my drive to build a better future.
My own story began in Fiji, but Hamilton has been my home for virtually my entire life. Growing up here, I understand, profoundly, the unique spirit and challenges of our Waikato communities.
This personal connection, coupled with having come from a background where resources were often scarce, truly fuels my passion for what we achieve at Momentum Waikato. I deeply understand the importance of opportunity and the transformative power that a strong foundation can provide.
Momentum Waikato isn't just about addressing the needs of today; it's about consciously creating a resilient financial legacy that will support our communities, nurture new initiatives, enhance the well-being of the Waikato region for generations to come and ensure opportunities for our children and grandchildren.
This 'smart giving' model isn't just a philosophy; it’s a tangible commitment to the future, ensuring that the seeds of generosity sown now will yield benefits far beyond our lifetimes.
To be part of something that cultivates such lasting, inter-generational impact is profoundly rewarding. It's about translating financial wisdom into enduring community strength, and I'm immensely proud to contribute to that mission.
