Kelvin Whall

Fiona worked with me at Beef + Lamb New Zealand on a number of strategic projects. These projects were more general project management oriented rather than specialist health and nutrition which of course is Fiona's specialist discipline. We were fortunate to benefit from Fiona's great project and event management skills. Her commitment to really own a project, add value and deliver it to a successful conclusion were evident time and time again. Of particular note were her support for the B+LNZ Design Thinking Integration project and the B+LNZ Farmer Referendum in 2015. Fiona is also a genuine and skilled networker who quickly builds and maintains relationships with people at all levels. If you are looking for someone to help drive your business/programme/activity forward you would be mad to not give her a call! Kelvin Whall Strategy Manager Beef + Lamb New Zealand

Fiona is a focused and talented representative person in the area of nutrition as her specific role. She does however bring a much wider impetus, especially given her earlier experience in her Northern hemisphere roles. She has an understanding of consumer requirements and perceptions that bridge the foodie understandings in a truly global sense. I would recommend her on all levels.
