The TorquePoint team is led by Dr Simon Ewing-Jarvie (Chief Disruption Officer) and Hon Heather Roy (Chief Engagement Officer).

 

 

He has a PhD in business and managed to survive 25 years in the New Zealand Defence Force including two excellent overseas war games supervised by the UN et al. She needed more challenge than raising 5 children and being a Member of Parliament so she joined the Army Reserve as a field engineer.

 

He has done some serious ‘suit time’ as a corporate dweller and business consultant and has dabbled (with mixed results) in politics. See Simon’s LinkedIn profile for all the detail (don’t forget to connect with his network!) or download – Simon Ewing-Jarvie Resume February 2023. He blogs on national security topics at www.unclas.com with paywalled material at Patreon.com

 

 

She was a Government Minister. Now she’s a professional director and our Chief Engagement Officer and also hopes to get better at fishing (soon). Heather also has a detailed LinkedIn profile or you can download Heather Roy Resume February 2023. She blogs on a range of political topics at onesock.nz and appears often as a commentator on political affairs on TV, radio and print/digital media.

We previously operated a ‘giving back’ programme called VillageTorque. This started after Tropical Cyclone Winston struck Fiji in February 2016. Here’s a short clip about the project. Unfortunately, Covid lockdowns have forced us to put this project on hold for now.
