About
The person behind the work
Good project management is invisible — people just know things are moving.
42 is famously the answer in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. The answer is meaningless, as no one was asking the right question.
Forty2 Consulting was founded to partner with growing organisations to ask the right questions and deliver meaningful answers. In the ever-changing technology landscape, we also aim to give these organisations access to senior delivery leadership as and when needed, without the overhead of a full-time hire.
We work closely with your team, bringing structure without bureaucracy and outcomes without surprises.
Based in Auckland, we work across New Zealand and internationally, with deep experience in government, technology, and professional services sectors.
