She is an active member of MAIA, a key part of New Zealand Chamber of Commerce’s network which supports NZ women working in Asia. The New Zealand Chamber of Commerce (Singapore) is a non-profit organisation established in 1983 with the purpose to “connect, promote and grow" opportunities for our members both in Singapore and regionally by extending their networks and promoting business relationships.

Kellie has been based in Singapore since 2016 after an 8-year period in the United Kingdom. Originally from Auckland, New Zealand Kellie holds a Bachelor of Commerce in Management & Employment Relations and a Post Graduate Diploma in Human Resource Management and Business Ethics from the University of Auckland.

Kellie’s areas of expertise include business partnering, cultural transformation, organisational design and executive coaching with a strong generalist HR foundation. As a Kiwi she is always after a new challenge that enables businesses and leaders to deliver high performing organisations with inclusive cultures where contribution is recognised, and individuals succeed. 

She loves making the most of the outdoors, traveling (when she can), cooking and as a newly qualified sailor you’ll often find her on the water on the weekend. A keen explorer who captures these adventures in a couple of travel blogs - Singapore offers her a fantastic gateway to the world!
