Purpose-driven and values-led

My name is John Chung, I’m a Fijian Chinese/European from New Zealand. In a nutshell: I’m a food motivated process nerd. I’m forever fascinated by how things are done and firmly believe that there is no such thing as a bad idea, only poor execution (which has proved the ground for many a pub debate). That said, the foundation of everything I do is rooted in values and purpose. I want to leave the world in a better state than when I came into it.

I'm a purpose driven operations executive and non-executive director with a passion for driving the growth, innovation and efficiency of organisations. Over 15 years working in the technology industry and a couple successful ventures (as well as some hard lessons) under my belt has led me to where I am today.

Areas of Expertise

  • John has been the Chief Operations Officer of multiple startups and scale ups. He’s been exposed to a smorgasbord of operating models across private, public and government.

    We have expertise in the advisory and support of organisation-wide day-to-day operations, systems & processes, and operational audits.

  • Governance is often overlooked at small or early stage organisations. But good governance is something you should have and not need rather than the other way around – as your organisation grows in size and complexity so does your need for good governance practices, exponentially.

    We have expertise in board advisory, board operations, tooling, governance audits, decision making frameworks and processes.

  • Just starting out? Get guidance from someone who’s been there and done it multiple times and learned the hard lessons so you can avoid them.
