Hello, kia ora! I’m Laura.

​

I pride myself on being pragmatic, creative and transparent in the way I work.

​

In 2020 I created my own business with the vision to partner with organisations to attract, inspire and enable people to do amazing work.  At People Ninjas we do exactly that.  

​

Being a People Ninja requires adaptability, innovation and expertise.  I bring to my partnerships, years of experience in senior HR and H&S leadership roles, combined with the personal characteristics that are vital to enable people to do their best work.
