Her early career in forensic psychology and health policy took her from London to Swaziland - and led to a decade in the Pacific, Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste where she led initiatives across sectors designing strategies and policies for a future that works, for people and for planet. She then moved into roles working with purpose-led organisations in the commercial sphere, including major FMCG brands and financial institutions.

Recently, Victoria has helped reimagine the future of Aotearoa’s primary industries and guided global insurers and security leaders as they prepare for the next wave of risk and resilience. She has also partnered with policy teams to build foresight capability and respond more strategically to deep structural drivers of change.
