A true professional in everything he tackles, Frano firmly believes that the principles he learned as a top-level rugby player can be successfully applied in the business arena.

With 18 years experience playing internationally for the All Blacks, New Zealand Maoris, New Zealand Sevens and Kiwis, he has always relished the challenge of producing his best possible effort on every occasion.

As a former captain, he also has exceptional leadership skills, making him an excellent group facilitator and negotiator. Frano’s long career at the elite level of sport has complemented his ongoing business career, giving him the ability to operate effectively with a wide range of groups and organisations.

He has worked with Fonterra, Downer EDI, Vitico, the Department of Conservation and NZ Defence Force, among many others.

Frano’s long career at the elite level of sport has enhanced his ongoing business career, giving him the ability to operate effectively with a wide range of people at all ages and stages of life.
