Digital Transformation Roles

Rather than a CV I prefer to list my achievements and would welcome 

      the chance to  meet and discuss the role further. 

         Here is a list of related Projects

Melissa Woodhouse - Hamilton Education and Care Sydney 2022

I have had the pleasure of working with Dennis and Paula from Hippiecampus over the past 12 months.

Their  innovative approach to problem solving and planning for business really made sense to me, and will no doubt yield fabulous results for any team who are looking to thrive. They professionally challenge you to think in a different way to the traditional leadership/ management models, and to reflect on the role of a leader. These skills flow into and can be applied to all aspects of your life.

If you  are looking for results and are brave and open enough to embrace a different methodology , then I recommend you call them .

Dennis is an exceptional person, and is motivated, more than anything, by wanting to improve the experience that Kiwi footballers have from a player development & coach development perspective – basically, he loves the game, has been able to harness his development from every experience he's had in football, and wants to provide the best possible experience for young players in NZ & the coaches who support their development.
