Angus is the founder of Open Plan. A chartered professional engineer and a transport planner with leadership roles at SCIRT (Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team), CERA (Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority) and NCTIR (North Canterbury Transport Infrastructure Recovery), planning large infrastructure programmes is part of his DNA.
He's passionate about open data, knowledge sharing and making the world a better place - and he's full to the brim of ideas on how to do this! On the weekends you'll usually find him coaching his son's football team, or tentatively flying down trails at the mountain bike park. |
Naomi's background is business support and communications across a variety of organisations in the UK and New Zealand, and she most recently worked as a Communications Advisor on the NCTIR earthquake recovery programme in Kaikōura before joining Open Plan.
Her role in Open Plan is multi-faceted - communications, stakeholder engagement, business development, account management and assisting in the product ownership of the National Forward Works Viewer. When she's not scaring herself silly at the local bike park, you'll find her getting beaten at the local squash club or nose deep in a book. |
Cameron's our Principle Data Engineer and has a background in Transport Planning and Data Analysis. For the last few years he has worked on modelling and planning of the NZTA Speed and Infrastructure Programme, delay modelling for the Transport Recovery East Coast Alliance.
In the past he has been involved in several complex transport planning projects in the Waikato including the Te Rapa North VISSIM model - a micro simulation model of north Hamilton. When he's not immersed in Excel, you'll find him running, hiking, swimming or playing his violin/viola. |
Anthony's our Senior BA, and has a background in business analysis, application development, databases, GIS and data wrangling. He previously worked for the Welsh Government followed by the Department for Levelling Up (yes it is a real department!) in the UK, working with local authorities and property technology companies to build a digital planning data register.
Anthony has extensive public sector experience working with health, central and local government authorities. Anthony spends a lot of his time running and training for the next race. This gives him a good excuse to get out and explore and to go "phogging" (photo breaks while jogging). |
