Hanipale Galo

Hey, I’ve recently swapped the winds of Wellington for the sunny Sunshine Coast.

I’ve spent the past decade across the private and public sectors – leading projects, writing funding advice, and helping government and businesses make better decisions (or at least better spreadsheets and PowerPoints). I’ve worked across construction, health, education, and community development, always with a focus on making systems fair and equitable and more people-friendly – especially for underserved communities.

I’m big on collaboration, clear thinking, and not taking myself too seriously. Whether it’s untangling policy spaghetti, co-designing with community, or wrangling data and insights into something useful, I’m in my element when there’s a challenge and good people around.

Now that I'm more settled in Queensland, I'm and keen to understand the local opportunities and explore opportunities where I can add value to the community.

Let’s connect! Happy to have a yarn over strategy, data, workforce projections, or where to find the best coffee ☕️ on the Coast (if we can count a mocha as a coffee).
