At Third Era our mission is to see leaders and teams who are lit up by sustainable business transformation and where organisations take their unique skills, people, services and products to design a new approach to business that they are inspired by and proud to be a part of.
Kia ora, I’m Annabel.
I have a love for our beautiful backyard and the diversity of people and cultures across the world. Given this love, I’ve always gotten a kick out of creative problem solving to address some of the world’s biggest environmental and social challenges. My vision is that all businesses are enabled to take action to support the SDG's and make a stand for a more sustainable world.
Fortunately for me, I’ve been able to weave my passion for sustainability with my corporate experience in law, infrastructure and procurement to support businesses and projects to make tangible improvements in sustainable practice.
When I’m not working with businesses to find their sustainability niche, developing partnerships with social enterprises or supporting teams to deliver sustainable impact, you can find me mountain biking with my dog Ollie, baking outrageously large (zero waste) cakes, tending to my vegetable garden or free diving with my partner Matthew dreaming about how to restore the oceans.
I’m always keen to talk to people about sustainability and business so please drop a time in my calendar for a catch up.
