After 22 years in the Royal New Zealand Air Force, Beaufa joined the Height whānau in 2021 as a Programme Manager within our Social and Sustainable Outcomes team.  He had the privilege of leading a successful Capability Uplift Programme for 120 Māori businesses, that we ran on behalf of Te Puni Kōkiri.  

He now leads the Social and Sustainable Outcomes team, where he guides people and projects across the public and private sector to deliver economic benefits and broader outcomes.  Beaufa brings a wealth of transferrable skills from over 15 years in leadership and management roles within the RNZAF. 

Of Māori and Samoan decent, Beaufa’s whakapapa is to Te Rarawa, Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara and Ngāti Paoa; his aiga is from Vaimoso, Western Samoa. A genuine ‘people person’ Beaufa loves working alongside businesses to help them position themselves to win government contracts and grow. He is fully invested in the social and sustainable outcomes sector with its people, community, and environmental focus resonating strongly with him.

Beaufa is a whānau man, a father of three, including the dog. In his spare time, he can be found in the garden, on the beach, or in front of the television watching sports or a family movie.
