Driving transformation, together.

Shaun leads our passionate team in creating a new future for low-emission vehicle use through smart technology. This involves steering the direction of the business, fostering a culture of purpose and care, and imprinting our values into Carbn's DNA through the service we provide. Before working at Carbn, Shaun came from an extensive career in banking with CEO and GM roles, in New Zealand and internationally, including Group CEO of SBS Bank.

In saying this, one thing Shaun is focusing on to be more sustainable is challenging the way he travels.

In my role at Carbn I manage the finance flow, working behind the scenes to support the Carbn team in doing what they do best. I thrive on 'to do lists' and love to keep things running smoothly. I have more years than I would like to mention in finance administration, starting way back when completing a Bachelor of Commerce with First Class Honours in Management from Otago University.

Family is very important to me. Work needs to feel like a home away from home, and working as part of the Carbn team fits the bill. When I'm not at work you will likely find me working alongside my husband in his businesses (honey and gin, what's not to love!), keeping tabs on my tertiary student daughter and teenage son or reading a book instead of doing the housework.
