David Harris has worked in no fewer than 9 countries and spent most of his life in the hospitality industry, operating in a senior management role for a variety of businesses. He also has an MBA from the University of Waikato.
Soon after semi-retiring, however, David decided to take a leap of faith and jump into the world of writing. Today, he acts as one of our men on the ground, with his business and management experience giving him cutting insight into the services he reviews for us. Due to his experience, he still tends to favour food and beverage as well as hospitality businesses most when he’s choosing services to review. You can often find him in one of New Zealand’s new cafes or restaurants – or on the road with his motorbike.
