Strategy and Systems Director

_MG_8648-8.jpg

Joseph joined us in July 2017 to co-ordinate the development of the ZIP strategic direction, and of the personnel management and financial planning/management systems.

He came to us from a career that began carrying out ecological surveys and monitoring, largely in the South Island high country, for the New Zealand Forest Service, Landcare Research and DOC.

After a short period as a science co-ordinator and editor, Joseph joined DOC as a policy analyst, working on a range of policy projects including information management, climate change, high country tenure reform, and mountain biking.

He subsequently moved to the DOC Science and Technical Units, to manage business planning and management processes, and assign requests for science and technical advice from other DOC colleagues and others. 

Joseph is based in Blenheim. He’s a keen mountain biker and tramper.
