She later moved to Auckland, where she expanded her experience by managing an additional client portfolio and developing her expertise across a broader range of client needs.
In 2023, Renee moved to Canada, where she worked as an Options Trader and Investment Associate with Raymond James, gaining valuable international experience with a global wealth management and investment banking firm. Returning to New Zealand in 2025, she joined Invest New Zealand as an adviser supporting foreign investment into New Zealand businesses.
Today, Renee has come full circle, returning to her hometown of New Plymouth and rejoining Craigs as an Investment Adviser.
