I know that feeling. You arrive in a new country with a deep well of professional experience, only to feel disconnected from your own potential. It’s a feeling that goes beyond just looking for a job; it’s a search for your calling, for a sense of purpose that truly fits in this new world.

That quiet search was the reason for the NovaSelfRISE. My background is rooted in two decades as a senior finance leader, where I specialized in driving financial transformation and delivering measurable results for multinational corporations across New Zealand and Central Asia.

I spent my career immersed in complex data, leading high-performing teams, and partnering with executives to achieve strategic goals for billion-dollar operations. But beyond the numbers and reports, I realized my most impactful work wasn’t just in optimizing cash flow or automating processes. It was in building and empowering Teams and Individuals.

The most significant successes we achieved weren’t just about the numbers; they were a direct result of fostering confidence and growth in the people I led. This recognition—that my key strength was enabling others to realize their full potential—ultimately led me to pursue a Certified Professional Coach qualification.

I realized that the real challenge for talented professionals navigating this transition wasn't just finding a job—it was rediscovering who they are as a professional in Aotearoa. My purpose became clear: to help people find a career that was a true reflection of their worth and their purpose.

This is where we bring together the most human of skills—empathy—with the most powerful of modern tools—AI. We leverage AI to help you dig deeper into your potential, uncovering hidden strengths and defining your authentic voice. At the same time, we put it to work to streamline processes, boost efficiency, and drive significant, measurable outcomes. This technology is the partner that helps you define a professional identity that is uniquely yours, all while working smarter, not harder.

Now, as the founder of NovaSelfRISE, I bring a unique blend of corporate discipline and empathetic coaching to professionals in transition. I understand the challenges you face because I've lived them, and I’ve seen how leveraging strategic insight and modern tools can transform a career journey.

NovaSelfRISE is a journey of realization and action. It's about building a career with purpose, not just a paycheck. We’ll work together to define your professional calling, equipping you with a practical roadmap to build a career that doesn't just fulfill a need, but truly fulfills you. We’ll show you how to articulate your value and step into a role where your influence, impact, and legacy can finally take root. This is more than a career transition; it's a profound professional homecoming.
