I graduated from the first cohort of the Pinnacle Programme back in 2004. Hailing from Invercargill, I competed for the NZ Rowing team at two Olympic Games and achieved a bronze medal at the London 2012 Olympics in the mens lightweight double. I am a three time world champion who retired from rowing in 2012 and attended Oxford University in 2013 before gaining a job in finance in London. I now works for Liontrust Asset Management as Co-head of the Global Innovation team and manage over $1bn in assets.
