Director
Meet Yvonne Cole
People, Business & Governance
Part of the EMPIXO journey from the beginning. The quieter voice behind the scenes providing perspective, challenge, support and governance as the business develops.
Yvonne has been part of our business journey from the beginning.
For more than 14 years, Brett and Yvonne have worked together behind the scenes of their business interests, navigating the realities of building businesses, developing ideas, investing, managing risk and balancing business decisions with family life.
The businesses. The investments. The property decisions. The risks. The successes. The lessons.
More Than 20 Years in People & Leadership
Alongside that journey, Yvonne brings more than 20 years of professional experience across human resources, people leadership and management, both in New Zealand and internationally.
Today, she is gaining further senior management experience in the United Arab Emirates, working in a complex international environment and leading people from a diverse range of cultures and professional backgrounds.

Organisational development
Multicultural teams
That international experience brings another valuable perspective to EMPIXO, particularly around people, leadership, organisational development and what it takes to build strong teams across different cultures and environments.

“A quieter but important role. Perspective, challenge, support and governance.”
Brett and Yvonne, on the journey together.
Her Role in EMPIXO
While Brett is the founder and current trust bridge for EMPIXO, Yvonne plays a quieter but important role behind the scenes, providing perspective, challenge, support and governance as the business develops.
And she’s been on the journey too: the businesses, the investments, the property decisions, the risks, the successes and the lessons. All part of the ongoing goal of building and protecting a stronger financial future for their family and future generations.

Governance
Complementary Experience
Stronger Together
Together, Brett and Yvonne bring complementary experience across the areas that matter for building something lasting. A combination that will help EMPIXO build something much bigger than either of them individually.
