We're delighted to announce a newly-expanded TIN team with the recent appointment of Brendan Boughen to our Project Manager role. Brendan will be overseeing the production of all annual reports including the TIN Report and the Investors' Guide to the New Zealand Technology Sector, as well as the various bespoke regional and sector-based reports TIN produces during the year. Brendan is an experienced business writer and communications professional who has been active in the NZ tech industry for over a decade as a PR consultant for a wide range of tech companies, including several years as the Senior Comms Manager at Microsoft NZ.

He is also familiar to many as the cartoonist known as 'Jim', whose cartoons about technology have regularly appeared in print and online tech news channels over the years.

Other members of the TIN team include Senior Research Analyst, Marinka Teague, and Data Analysts Mihnea Enache and Noel D'Souza. The Research team is supported by Events Manager Shelley Davies, who produces the invaluable networking opportunities that membership of the TIN community provides, as well as Ashley Hibbard and Sarah Gardyne who provide digital media design and support for the TIN team and Alina Pavlova who oversees business analysis and accounts.
