A live storytelling meetup for professionals in Auckland who want to change lanes β without starting from zero.
## About This Meetup
Everyone talks about "career pivots" like they happen overnight. They don't.

Roy talks candidly about his career as a software engineer, working across Gentrack, Kiwiplan, and Tenzing (KPMG Consulting) β the moves he made, the roles that built on each other, and how he navigated consulting vs. product-company environments along the way.
