HR has a reputation for being dull and dreary - a tick the boxes, soulless kind of activity. However, the gals at Spice HR are pretty much the opposite of what you may think you know about HR! Yes, we are HR professionals with vast skillsets, but we are also authentic, spicy, and full of energy and enthusiasm for what we do. We work closely with businesses to help them do the right thing for staff and improve staff performance. 

Of course, every organisation – and every individual - is unique, so we tailor our approach to partner with you on your specifics. We go into a business, get to know the culture and the people, and make recommendations around the things that we believe will work best for them. We are there to back you up, to partner with you, and add the right blend of Spice to your business. We know our stuff when it comes to managing people, their performance and adding value to your bottom line!

Hey team, my name is Conor, I'm a dynamic retail executive with over a decade of

experience in leading high-performing teams and driving substantial sales growth within

one of the biggest US-based retail corporations. I started in retail as a part-time gig in high school and worked by way up to the executive level, doing pretty much every job along the way. I moved to New Zealand 18 months ago to be near my family. Since arriving here, I've spent my time developing innovative direct-to-customer sales strategies, smashing commission targets, and

showcasing my leadership as a sales manager. I've got a proven track record of building high-performing teams. I've managed large teams of up to 20 direct reports and 150 indirect reports, always focusing on a shared purpose and  collaboration. Ethical practices are at the heart of my leadership style.

Beyond the work world, I'm a fitness enthusiast who loves tackling intense challenges. I have competed in several Iron Man triathlons and Spartan races, and I'm always trying to beat my personal best at the gym.  I thrive on pushing my limits and leading by example.

I’m bringing my enthusiasm to a new mission: helping executive teams discover

their “why” and develop strong and resilient workplace cultures where their teams are

empowered and look forward to coming to work.

I’m Robin. I’m American by birth, Kiwi by choice. If you looked at a summary of my

career, you probably wouldn’t believe it. I’m a bit of a hummingbird, having

worked in a wide variety of industries, from Sign Language interpreter to violence

prevention specialist, grant-writer to not-for-profit and

NGO executive and even a karaoke host and mobile DJ. I spent 15 years doing political

strategy, which saw me working as a political delegate lead for Obama for America,

advocating for healthcare and immigration reform in multiple states, managing

campaigns, and developing large-scale public relations and voter outreach plans. For a

time, I served as a regional director for the Democratic National Committee and an

executive director of a state political party.

I have some fancy credentials in management and leadership, which was mostly

because I wanted to understand what sets successful organisations apart from others

that are meh—or just bad.

Despite the broad range of interests and industries, a few threads tie

everything together:

1. I’m entrepreneurial (I’ve turned every job I’ve had into a successful

solopreneurship or small business).

2. I’m always looking for ways to improve. Everything. All the time.

3. I’m an innovator, an early adopter, and sometimes a conscientious disruptor.

4. Winning means putting people first

Since coming to New Zealand, I’ve worked in leadership roles in the health and social

sector. Now, true to form, I’ve struck out on my own and started a company focused on

helping leaders and executive teams turn strategy into operational excellence.

My vision is a community of inspired and inspiring leaders who are deliberate about

creating thriving, successful organisations where people like to work!
