Hamish co-founded Xero back in 2006, where he was pivotal in Xero’s early growth across NZ, Australia and the UK. Hamish was a practising accountant before his journey with Xero. After taking over the family accounting business, and revolutionising how the firm was operating by leveraging the rise of the internet, he helped grow it to a point where it was acquired by Deloitte.

Whilst, no longer a practising accountant Hamish is still passionate about how technology can continue to be transformative for accounting in both New Zealand and the UK.
