Julie has been Chief Executive of Transparency International New Zealand (TINZ) since 2018, following 20 years of experience as a Chief Executive Officer and senior manager in regulatory, professional and NGO organisations. TINZ is one of 100 chapters in a global movement against corruption. It is a non-partisan civil society organisation powered by volunteers.

Julie advocates for transparency integrity and accountability as antidotes to corruption. TINZ focuses on ‘integrity systems’, highlighting where we need to change law and practices. Stronger systems help us to counter, identify and root out corruption, which unfortunately does occur in New Zealand. TINZ' focus areas include business integrity, public sector integrity, integrity and civil society awareness and participation. We also work with Pacific chapters to support their anti-corruption work.
