NorthChamber Team
Our team is here to help, please don’t hesitate to call.
Leah McKerrow – Chief Executive Officer (Te Whānau Whero, Ngati Mutunga o Wharekauri, Te Atiawa, Ngati Toa)
Kia ora ko Leah McKerrow toku ingoa.
I’m a proud Northland ‘import’ having moved here permanently in 2020 to Matapouri. Originally from the Wairarapa, I have had my own consultancy business for the past twenty years working internationally on change, organisational culture, customer experience and leadership. I’m passionate about bringing out the best in others, and am excited that this extends to our region. I’m the founder of Leadrly, a Microsoft teams application using generative AI to support and coach leaders.
When I’m not working I love walking on our gorgeous beaches with my two standard schnauzers Merc and Wolter. I’m also a marriage celebrant and have even done a bit of stand up comedy in Las Vegas!

Paulette Scrooby – Community Engagement Manager
Kia ora – ko Paulette Scrooby toku ingoa, ko Whangārei te kāinga, nō Timawawe au.
You will find me busy across the events, communications and community engagement space mostly, (although we all glide and slide like any small team). I love to connect people and businesses with solutions that will move the dial for them, whether it’s networking, growing capability or advocating for a business.
I am managed by a small black spaniel called Ben, a proud mum of two grown lads, and a life student currently exploring te reo, ukelele and wellbeing therapies.

Nicole Mokaraka – Office Manager/EA
After a rewarding few years as a stay-at-home mum, I am thrilled to have re-entered the workforce as the Office Manager/Executive Assistant at NorthChamber.
Outside of office hours you will find me spending quality time with my partner and our two boys, lending a hand in our family business ‘No Boundaries Fencing’ and tending to the gardens on our rural property just out of Whangarei.
I am already enjoying my time with NorthChamber and look forward to the new challenges and creative opportunities that this role can bring.

Dee Field – Digital and Member Support Lead
When I am not onboarding new members and ensuring we offer value to them, you will mostly find me in my happy place working on special projects, marketing, and generally ensuring things run smoothly behind the scenes here at NorthChamber.
Outside of NorthChamber I am a mum of two young girls who keep me busy as a taxi driver and appointment setter. I live in paradise at Waipu, so when I am not at the Chamber I am at the beach, reading a book in the sun, or helping out with local community events.
