Kia ora, I am Antoinette
I’m an experienced operations manager with a diverse background spanning the corporate, non-profit, and government sectors. My leadership journey has been fueled by purpose and a focus on nurturing talent to achieve impactful results across various organizations in New Zealand and not-for-profits overseas.
Starting from the bottom, I learned how to lead teams in healthcare before moving up to manage specialists, doctors, and clinical staff. This journey led me to pursue senior leadership roles in health, training, real estate, commercial business, and most recently, serving as the National Operations Manager for a nationwide service-based business, where I support and coach franchise owners to succeed, whilst also growing the national business. My experience has taught me how to shape strategic direction through my team while consistently meeting revenue and growth targets – all through effective leadership and team collaboration.
I have always been a student of leadership. My approach to coaching is rooted in a deep understanding of business needs, balanced with team needs and achieving results through others while building trust and connection with team members. I believe in using authority when necessary and creating systems and a culture where people can thrive. Driven by a purpose for making a difference and a dedication to continuous growth, I look forward to helping you achieve results through your people.
