Superpower Optimism under pressure Fixation Turning any casual walk into a full strategic life discussion

Claudia’s work spans project management, strategy facilitation and people and behaviour research, sitting at the intersection of people, capability and strategy. She is often involved in complex projects where different perspectives, priorities or cultures need to be brought together to make clear decisions and practical progress.

Across project management, Claudia keeps complex work moving by coordinating people, priorities and delivery. Through facilitation and people and behaviour research, she helps clients understand different perspectives, shape shared direction, and turn broad ideas into clear priorities, practical actions and fundable plans.

Claudia enjoys bridging the gap between future-focused thinking and practical realities. She loves bringing people together to create a shared vision and consistently works to incorporate Te Ao Māori into how challenges and project development are approached.

Claudia holds a Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours, majoring in Behavioural and Biological Sciences, from the University of Waikato. She is also a certified project management practitioner in PRINCE2, Agile and Change Management.
