Robyn became a shareholder and General Manager of Pacific Entertainment in November 2007 leaving behind a successful 20 year career in Corporate Banking. Initially joining the prestigious merchant bank, South Pacific Merchant Finance in 1985, Robyn transferred to the top ranked corporate banking unit of The National Bank of New Zealand (now ANZ National Bank) when the two companies merged in 1989, finally leaving from a very senior corporate management position providing financial guidance to some of New Zealand’s top companies and Government owned institutions. Through her banking career Robyn specialised in the areas of corporate finance and financial structuring, risk management, international trade finance, foreign exchange, and the development core systems that supported a number of the bank’s international business functions. Sounds Music had been one of her clients.
Alongside her corporate banking career, Robyn has also enjoyed a professional singing career fronting a number of New Zealand’s premier corporate bands, performing at a number of festivals and events both nationally and internationally, and toured in her own right. She has now recorded two albums of original material, a debut album, “Breaking Through” released in 2000 to be followed shortly by the release of a second album, “Polite Conversation”.
Robyn’s combined strong financial strengths, ability to deal at a senior corporate level, and sympathetic understanding of artists make her ideally suited to negotiating the challenges of the concert promotions business and executing successful tours.
