JOSIE ADLAM

About Me

Josie is a visionary and experienced leader with a deep commitment to seeing emerging and innovative businesses succeed and achieve their growth potential.

My History

Josie provides independent director, mentoring/coaching, and business strategy services to enterprising organisations and entrepreneurs in both Auckland and Wellington regions with a strong desire to accelerate their results.  Her experience with these clients ranges from early growth technology start-ups to established services industry organisations to high growth international market expansions.

Her unique blend of industry, lifestage, and functional experience stems from her diverse portfolio of clients and her pervious executive and senior roles.  A large portion of her services industry experience has been in the ICT sector, including sales, marketing, and product innovation positions at Telecom New Zealand and Alcatel-Lucent.

Josie also spent several years at Kiwibank as the General Manager Distribution, heading up channels to market, including the award-winning online channel transformation, and the customer experience team.

Josie has always had a natural aptitude for business strategy and market development, which has effectively complemented her formal degree in Electrical Engineering. This has continued to be reflected in her successful leadership career since moving to New Zealand from the United States in 1994.
