Our team

The DigitalNZ team is based (mostly) in Wellington at the National Library of New Zealand. The team runs this website, and its supporting systems, and is part of a larger DigitalNZ Group within New Zealand's Department of Internal Affairs.

DigitalNZ team

In addition to having a love of all things digital, the DigitalNZ team is a fan of sweet treats. Special favourites include raspberry liquorice and party mix.

• Dan Charles, Data Systems Specialist—keeps the site bug free and works closely with developers to make DigitalNZ an easy-to-use delight.
• Fiona Fieldsend, Manager, Digital New Zealand—sets the strategic direction for DigitalNZ and the National Library Online team and leads the ongoing development of the National Library's digital services.
• Daz Martin, Community Manager—connects with our audiences through public presentations and social media and helps people find out about our partners' rich collections.
• Rowan Payne, Manager, DigitalNZ Services—is responsible for overseeing the team's work, and ensuring the range of services that DigitalNZ offers are the best they can be.
• James Robertson, Manager, DigitalNZ Systems—keeps DigitalNZ running and future proofs our site, ensuring DigitalNZ is a leader in open source software and API development.
