Designing Leadership for a New Era
I’m a CEO, Independent Director, and systems thinker with a record of leading transformation across fintech, retail and social enterprise. My work sits at the intersection of leadership, innovation and justice — exploring how we design organisations that are as fair and future-ready as they are commercially strong.
A career built on transformation and growth
From scaling founder-led start-ups to guiding established enterprises through complex change, I’ve led teams of more than 150 and delivered multi-million-dollar growth outcomes.
My career has spanned the UK and Aotearoa, including leadership roles across fintech, retail and purpose-led ventures. As Co-CEO of Tax Traders, I helped shape one of New Zealand’s most progressive fintechs. Before that, I led marketing, e-commerce and customer experience for The Warehouse Group, and earlier built retail and brand growth for high-performing UK businesses.
What connects these chapters is a consistent focus on people and performance — building cultures that make courage, curiosity and clarity the foundation of results.
Leadership by design
I believe leadership isn’t about certainty — it’s about design. The ability to shape systems, cultures and decisions that enable others to thrive. My approach blends strategy with empathy, pairing commercial acumen with a deep belief in the power of fairness and inclusion to drive performance.
“Courage, curiosity and clarity aren’t soft skills; they’re the strong ground on which modern leadership stands.”

Gallup CliftonStrenths
What Gallup CliftonStrengths says about my inherent strengths.
“Becki’s Gallup CliftonStrengths profile positions her as an ideal leader for scaling, values-driven organisations at an inflection point where decisive leadership and deep relational trust are both essential to move into the next phase of growth.”
High-growth, scaling organisations
Becki’s combination of Competition, Command, Self-Assurance and Focus makes her a natural fit for fast-moving businesses under pressure that need clear direction and disciplined execution. She balances visionary strengths such as Futuristic, Ideation and Significance with practical Focus and Deliberation, enabling the shift from founder-led intensity to sustainable, structured growth.
Organisations in transition or reinvention
Her Self-Assurance, Command and Futuristic strengths equip her to hold steady in ambiguity, while Relator and Individualization allow her to unite teams through change. Becki leads with courage and clarity, providing stability while steering transformation.
Challenger and purpose-driven brands
Guided by her Significance theme, Becki seeks meaningful impact and continually raises the bar. She thrives in purpose-led and challenger environments, where mission matters as much as metrics, inspiring and mobilising others around a shared cause.
Complex, regulated or high-stakes environments
The combination of Deliberative, Command and Self-Assurance gives Becki a rare ability to balance prudence with conviction. She makes sound, confident decisions in high-stakes contexts such as finance, health or education, navigating complexity with rigour and confidence.
