Heidi Dunlop

Running the show at Navigator is Heidi, our Partner.
‍
Heidi grew up on a farm in the Manawatu, so she was brought up on hard work. Completing her degree at Massey University she started her career in banking. Heidi loves to travel, so has developed her knowledge working for different companies in the finance sector giving her a really great base understanding of business big and small.
‍
Always up for an adventure, Heidi has helped push Navigator to innovate and explore new ways to find better solutions for our clients.

‍

She's all about getting to know the people behind the numbers - and she's helped make it a fundamental part of how we do things around here too.

‍

Based in sunny Napier and running our Hawke’s Bay team, Heidi is the one who keeps the Navigator wheels turning, ensuring we're always working effectively, enjoying ourselves, and keeping our clients’ best interests in mind.

‍

Through her whanaunga here in the Hawke’s Bay, Heidi is helping us create closer connections to te ao Māori and improve our reo skills every day.

She also loves the outdoors... almost as much as gin.

our values

As a proudly independent Kiwi company, we’re all about connecting more closely to the indigenous culture of this place we call home – the language, principles and values that are intrinsic to Aotearoa New Zealand’s unique identity.

That’s why we are on a journey to adopt and improve our everyday te reo Māori, as well as te ao Māori perspectives.

Embracing concepts that parallel our approach, weaving them into who we are and how we work.

We’ve got a long way to go yet – but here’s how we’re getting started.

Manaakitanga

+

Manaakitanga is the concept of hospitality, kindness, generosity, support – the process of showing respect, generosity and care for others. It is reciprocal – by lifting others up you are in turn lifted up yourself.

We look after all our customers with care and respect, guiding and giving them what they need to maintain and grow their business.

And at the end of the day, when we care for our customers and help them succeed, we succeed ourselves.

Tohungatanga

+

Tohungatanga is the concept of expertise, knowledge and understanding.

We pride ourselves on understanding both our profession and our customers. Not just on being the experts, but on sharing that expertise in ways that really help people.

We are also focused on continually growing and expanding our knowledge and tools in order to do more and create better outcomes for our customers.

Whanaungatanga

+

Whanaungatanga is the concept of creating authentic connections and building relationships through shared experiences (such as working together).

We take the time to get to know our customers, to connect and to care at a personal level. This enables us to truly understand you and your business, and as a result to provide the support you really need.
