Stuart has both a strong sense of social justice, and a desire to help out in the local community – so it is no surprise that he feels a real affiliation with Interactionz’s vision of making the community a better place to live for all.

Stuart comes to the Board with a wealth of business management experience, gained within the New Zealand Post Group during the two and a half decades he has worked for them. Some of the roles he has held at NZ Post Group have included; General Manager of Delivery Networks, General Manager of Postal Delivery, Head of Provincial Contract Management, and General Manager of Business Performance and Optimisation. Stuart also holds a Master of Arts degree in Geography (with Distinction), a Post Graduate Diploma of Arts in Geography and Economics (with Credit), and a Bachelor of Arts in Geography and Economics.

Stuart lives on a lifestyle block in Ohaupo with his wife Jane and two teenage children. Having run two marathons, and completed both the Queen Charlotte track and Otago Rail trail, he likes to stay fit. Sport is also a passion for Stuart, who plays social tennis and cricket, and has volunteered many hours over the years to coaching both school cricket and rugby.
