Alastair is Laidlaw's Finance Operations and Systems Manager, leading the delivery and continuous improvement of the College's financial processes, systems and data. Day to day, he provides proactive technical and people leadership at the interface between Finance and the College's wider teams and systems.
He is a key support to the Chief Financial Officer, helping ensure the Finance team can deliver for the College — from quality financial reporting through to reliable core processes and systems. Alastair's focus is on setting the team up to succeed, working to clear away barriers and drive continuous improvement wherever he can.
Outside of Laidlaw, Alastair is an elder at Greenlane Presbyterian Church, where he also regularly leads worship. He's treasurer and a board member for two small charitable trusts that manage investments on behalf of one of New Zealand's church denominations.
Alastair loves getting outdoors to enjoy the natural beauty of Aotearoa, whether on cycle trails, tramping, skiing, weekend walks or gardening. He's also a keen jogger, often spotted pounding the streets of Epsom or the trails around Cornwall Park — and, since his family recently became dog owners, he might now be found walking their schnoodle, Lexie, around Auckland's dog parks.
