Adrian Winks

Adrian Winks

Vice President - Author-it
Focused like a laser on the success of our customers.

A well-travelled Kiwi, with 20 plus years in the technology industry primarily focused on customers, solutions, and delivery. Adrian spent eight years as a senior consultant and project manager with Author-it and if he can’t help craft a solution to help your business progress, he can certainly entertain you with exotic tales of being locked up in Shenzhen (don’t worry, it was mistaken identity!), or picking blueberries at midnight in the forests of Finland.
