Supporting Deep Tech Startups

As the Product Manager for the deep tech incubator programme, I work with deep tech incubators and ambitious entrepreneurs who defy the odds to turn bold ideas into successful deep tech startups.

After graduating with a bachelor's degree in biotechnology and a PhD in molecular biology, I worked across industry, the tertiary sector, government, and also led my own startup. My past experience enables me to connect with founders and better understand the challenges they face. I have been passionate about growing the New Zealand’s innovation ecosystem since my university years and my enthusiasm has only grown stronger since.

I’m inspired by the chance to support visionary entrepreneurs and contribute to building a stronger, more innovative Aotearoa.
