Meet the team at Subs
Our dedicated team of professionals is passionate about product sustainability and ocean conservation.
I am from
Mid-Canterbury, New Zealand, I
served with the New Zealand Army in
1RNZIR. After my tour, I left the military for work
in the mining services industry in Australia, then
moved on to building coal/iron ore mining
infrastructure as a rigger from Queensland to
Western Australia. I have been wearing jandals my
whole life and it just made sense to join
the footwear industry in 2016 to try and
help with the plastic
pandemic.
I am from
Taiwan, James is from New
Zealand, we are Koru Consulting Ltd.
and also Subs' Hong Kong based partners. We
are a Kiwi & Taiwanese dynamic duo and we are
passionate about sustainability and...jandals! Over
the years we've been able to combine our love of
game design with training and infuse all of this with
sustainability. Subs is a natural addition to our
work with corporate clients, schools and
NGO's across the Asia
Pacific.
Growing up
next to the Pacific Ocean at Dorie,
Mid-Canterbury, New Zealand, I have
witnessed the effects of plastic pollution on
NZ beaches since childhood. I graduated from
The University of Canterbury in 2000 and have lived much of my adult life in Asia where I have been in the footwear industry for over 7 years now. I began
specialising in recycled plastic footwear when
it became evident that plastic pollution
and sustainability are global
issues.
