Chris is the driving force behind Pavé. He started his professional career in 1994 and today brings his deep understanding FMCG along with strong business disciplines in strategy, process and technology. 

As a management consultant for global consulting services firm Accenture, he worked on business transformation projects for clients in the financial services and telecommunications sectors in New Zealand, Australia and the US. Upon his return to New Zealand he worked for a private equity group where he developed an interest in the rapidly evolving FMCG sector. After concluding several acquisitions in grocery and hardware which he later sold, he turned his focus and expertise on building an advanced sales and distribution service tailored to the unique requirements of multinational FMCG companies. He called this business PAVÉ.

Nigel has an impressive track record across a wide range of categories and enjoys strong relationships at all levels in the trade. 

Nigel passionately believes that superior outcomes can be delivered through the combination of a strong corporate operating discipline with the agility of a local and specialised partner.
