Selected Experience
A track record built on real transactions, real venues and real projects.
The engagements below are drawn from approximately 22 years across banking, business development, hospitality and project work in Fiji and Papua New Guinea. Client names and commercially sensitive details are withheld as a matter of professional confidentiality.
US$100 million-plus refinancing transaction
Direct involvement, in a senior commercial banking role, in a major corporate refinancing exceeding US$100 million — spanning financial analysis, structuring input, documentation coordination and stakeholder management through to completion.
Demonstrates: institutional-scale transaction discipline and credit-committee standards.
Acting Head of Commercial Banking
Led a commercial banking function in an acting-head capacity — overseeing lending portfolios, credit quality and client relationships, and representing the bank with corporate customers and institutional stakeholders.
Demonstrates: senior decision-making experience on the approving side of the table.
Outlet turnaround and revenue-growth strategy
Repositioned an underperforming food-and-beverage operation: refined the concept, rebuilt the offer, introduced event-led trade and instilled margin discipline — restoring revenue momentum and commercial viability.

Investor and property transaction facilitation
Facilitated property transactions and investor engagements — introducing credible parties, supporting commercial negotiation and coordinating the professional workstreams that carry a deal to settlement.
Demonstrates: deal execution and trusted-intermediary capability.

Business cases, proposals & investor presentations

Experience is only useful when it transfers.
Every engagement draws on the same underlying assets: knowing how institutions decide, knowing how Pacific businesses actually operate, and knowing the people who can move a project forward. Whether your challenge is a funding application, a struggling venue, a development concept or a market entry, the pattern of support is consistent — rigorous analysis, honest advice, disciplined documentation and active facilitation through to a result.
