I’m the CEO and co‑founder of LoungePair, a platform connecting travelers with flexible, on‑demand airport lounge access. Our technology also supports airlines, travel companies, and financial services partners in delivering lounge benefits to their customers.
Originally from Australia, I’ve called Auckland, New Zealand home since 2014, where I also run a professional services consultancy in the field of resource management planning. I was the Managing Editor for Point Hacks New Zealand from 2017 through to 2020.
I’m passionate about the journey as much as the destination: from lounges and premium cabins to loyalty programs and hotels. Outside of work, you’ll often find me exploring cities, enjoying good food, or taking long drives to discover what lies beyond.

This wasn't long enough Mark because your insights are absolutely spot on. Here I was thinking about what to write myself, and you took the words out of my head and put them down very eloquently.
