”Christine played a pivotal role in establishing the WMS Group, and her contributions have proven invaluable. Her financial modelling and analysis skills are world class and were critical to our decision-making process, consistently providing the reliable insights we needed. Where necessary, Christine presented sensitivity analysis alongside her findings. In my role as Managing Director, this additional analysis was crucial as it ensured I understood the impact of changes in key assumptions and was fully informed when making strategic business decisions.

As the Group’s CFO, Christine was a key member of our Executive Team, known for her reliability, personable nature, and ability to collaborate effectively with others. Her efforts were instrumental in driving the best outcomes for our group, and she remains a trusted and respected colleague.”

Ray Mudgway
Managing Director, WMS Group

“Two key challenges a client faces when developing a business case are ensuring the person developing the financial model understands what you are trying to achieve and also the output is unambiguous, clear and readily explainable. Christine from Omana CA Solutions handles these challenges with consummate ease. Her quick grasp of the issues at hand and how they will be best explained is second to none – delivering some very complicated project business cases. We highly recommend Christine and Omana CA Solutions and will continue to utilise her services.”

”I have worked with Christine for many years on a wide variety of port related work. This has included financial aspects of development works, asset management/maintenance work, business planning, valuations and insurance claims.

For me the single thing that sets Christine apart from others is her desire to understand the bigger picture, how the engineering works, how it fits with the task at hand, the assumptions made and the risk in the numbers provided to her. This means that she has a much better understanding of the implications of the financial work that she is engaged in and is better positioned to advise others.”

Gary Chalmers
Technical Principal Ports & Marine, WSP New Zealand Limited

“Christine’s outstanding academic and commercial pedigree, matched with her excellent personal qualities of honesty, integrity, dedication, team focus and a strong work ethic, are a powerful combination. I have watched with growing admiration as she has successfully managed the numerous competing demands of multiple assignments for the highly traumatised and distressed clients that are common in this business. She has displayed clear thinking, decisive action, a results orientated focus, stamina and empathy, all essential attributes for anyone who aspires to work in the field of resolving large and complex insurance claims.”

Peter Faire
Managing Director, Fawcett Faire Limited

”I have worked with Christine as a work colleague and more latterly in her role as a consultant. In my role, I required in depth data analysis to support decision-making which would instigate major changes within the business.

Christine is a MS Excel expert who ensured that source data was accurate. She would apply the data to the business setting and provide guidance on the business issue being analysed. On top of that, Christine has the ability to relate well to everyone she meets. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. I would happily recommend Christine to prospective clients.”

Trish Telfer

“Christine brought her Port experience to CentrePort Limited following the Kaikoura EQ and built financial models for our Business Interruption claims which were easy to follow and importantly relied upon by insurers. Since settlement of the EQ claims, Christine has assisted in preparing forecasting models for the Port. Christine’s knowledge and experience in the Port sector has proven invaluable to us.  Christine’s integrity coupled with a very friendly manner meant Christine related well at all levels of the organisation.”
