As Finance Manager, he leads the company’s finance and digital transformation agenda, implementing AI tools and optimising the rigorous processes that reporting depends on. He has more than 12 years’ experience in finance and analytics at large, listed firms, most recently as Finance Manager at infrastructure services company Ventia and earlier as a Financial Analyst with CBRE Asia Pacific. His work has spanned infrastructure, technology, and commercial property in New Zealand and South Africa.
Kelvin is a qualified accountant with a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting and Finance from the University of South Africa. He is currently completing a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence at Massey University, which feeds directly into his AI work at Home Construction.
Outside of work, Kelvin enjoys travelling and spending time with family and friends.
