My Story:

I moved from New Zealand to experience London to its fullest. I studied Accounting and Management at the University of Otago, began my career in Audit at PwC, and later transitioned into real estate finance before joining Mercurae to help build and scale their unique product.

Key Expertise:

My experience across audit, real estate finance, and now commercial operations has given me a grounded insight into  how businesses work from the inside out. I enjoy building strong relationships, bringing clarity to complex problems, and turning financial and operational insights into practical solutions that help teams move faster.

How I Help Clients:

I’m focused on making things fair and manageable for both clients and lawyers. On the lawyer side, we’re building a workflow that helps them manage capacity better and avoid being tied to the hour. For clients, it means clearer pricing, fair usage, and a straightforward way to see what’s happening with their work. My role is to understand what each side needs day-to-day and help turn that into a product that makes their lives easier.

Why Mercurae:

I joined Mercurae because I believe in what we’re building. The industry has been stuck with the same problems for years, and we’re finally tackling them in a smarter way, using cutting-edge AI and technology that reflects where the world is actually heading. The vision is clear, the pace is fast, and there’s a real opportunity to build something that genuinely improves how clients and lawyers work together. That’s what drew me here.

Outside Work:

Outside the office, I keep things simple, I love playing golf, getting out for a run or some exercise, learning something new and catching up with friends over a drink.
