After starting my first Import business in 1992, I\u2019ve been on the roller coaster ride of disruptive innovation\/entrepreneurship ever since. I founded\u00a0Electric Bikes NZ ltd<\/a>\u00a0in 2006 and was the first to distribute electric bikes across NZ. I designed the electric drive system for the NZ post eBike fleet in 2009 and founded\u00a0Smartmotion Electric Bikes<\/a>\u00a0in 2011. In 2012 I developed the Stretch Electric Cargo Bike<\/a> for Pedego USA<\/a>. In 2013, I partnered with Daryl Neal to develop the world\u2019s first twin hub drive electric utility bike and, along with Tim Allen, co-founded\u00a0UBCO BIKES<\/a>\u00a0to deliver the UBCO 2×2. In 2016 I founded\u00a0MadebyFy,<\/a>\u00a0based initially around disrupting standup paddleboarding with a double-bladed paddle and evolving into a steadily growing\u00a0 \u2018House of Fy\u2019 product family.<\/p>

I\u2019ve travelled to China 30+ times over the years and built up a deep understanding of how to create and nurture sustainable, successful supply chain relationships and minimize risk. \u00a0Over the last few years electric bikes have moved from an early adopter product to a trusted commodity and the big brands have entered the space.\u00a0I have had to guide Electric Bikes NZ ltd through a major restructure and optimisation and have valuable experience in the risks to a growth company of evolving market\/product cycles. I have a deep understanding of and passion for brand development\/identity. HR and building an optimised team is another skillset I\u2019ve developed over ten years of growing Electric Bikes NZ ltd from a sole trader into a 4m turnover SME employing a growing team.<\/p>

I\u2019ve made plenty of mistakes over the years and see the entrepreneur and innovator journey as \u2018the art of making mistakes\u2019\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 mistakes are the opportunity for learning and positive change. In this exciting and challenging time of massive global change across pretty much everything, we need our innovators\/entrepreneurs more than ever – I am keen to do what I can to help them succeed.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
