Georgia Swney

HR MANAGER

LLB, University of Waikato

Georgia looks after Sharp Tudhope’s HR administration and brings a unique perspective to her role. Unlike many HR professionals, she’s also worked as a solicitor so understands the great work our staff do and the particular pressures they face.

She has specialised in employment law and HR for over a decade. She began her career at Employment Relations Authority, then worked as an employment lawyer for Phillips Fox (now part of DLA Piper New Zealand) in Auckland. She then moved into the realm of HR, with roles at Spectrum Care Trust Board, Auckland District Health Board and Harrison Grierson Consultants, before joining our firm in March 2018.

Georgia likes to keep things simple and avoid bureaucracy. She ensures a consistent approach is taken across an organisation and provides a personal touch where possible. She also enjoys the flexibility and modern working environment that Sharp Tudhope provides.

Georgia spent many childhood summer holidays in Tauranga and is happy to now be raising her own family here.
