Jane Holstein

Associate Consultant

Jane’s years of proven success leading start-ups, and driving market and business performance, across several continents qualify her as a truly global consultant.

Her energetic style and ‘learn-by-doing’ approach make her a dynamic guide. She is passionate about empowering others to enhance and hone their commercial and leadership capabilities so that they can keep achieving greater impacts in their chosen spheres.

Jane’s strategic mindset is teamed with a pragmatic approach. She not only inspires her clients to create forward-thinking strategies, but also helps find practical and effective solutions to make them an exciting reality.

She loves to immerse herself in a wide variety of cultures and traditions, savouring their different foods, crafts and music, and never tires of connecting with new people and outlooks. Fluent in Spanish as well as English, and with a smattering of ‘Portuñol’ (Spanish-Portugese pidgin), Jane switches easily between languages, spicing them up with her native Kiwi twang.

When not globetrotting and guiding project teams to new heights, Jane relaxes by grooving to Latin beats, or exploring the outdoors to be inspired by the wonders of nature.

Where do your best ideas come from?

The unexpected.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve received?

Give everything a go and never limit yourself.
