about
originally from new zealand, but have lived the best part of 15 years aboard. in my background, i was a ceo of a tech start up, and an executive at a tech unicorn, i saw firsthand where the cost of success, is employee well — being. thats why we started quan, as we believe in a world where well-being is prioritized as key to business success, equal or greater to financial kpis.
what or who inspired you to pursue your chosen career?
my first job after my undergraduate degree was with a private equity firm in london, where i quickly realised this is not what i wanted to do, i wanted to do something with impact. but it did inspire me to go into business so i did an mba, and realise i love building products with genuine impact, and i love coaching and developing others. i have always been the youngest, and more often than not one of few females at the table, especially in tech and in startups. this has inspired me more to set an example for others.
