Kerry McFetridge
Senior Consultant

Read Kerry's profile
Kerry and Mrs Mc have a 10-acre block in Tai Tapu and spend most weekends planting shelter to tame Canterbury’s fearsome north-easters. He loves it. As well, Kerry is a keen mountain biker, although this is more aligned to finding the next coffee shop than any difficult tracks.
Kerry has a career in Information Technology and Telecommunications, working with local and multi-national organisations throughout his career. The truth is, he loves technology but knows it must work and deliver tangible benefits. Kerry enjoys working with different client teams while growing the Edge Communications’ business.
Kerry supplies telecommunication, commercial and project management skills, and is responsible for ensuring our clients get the expected benefit from our projects.

Read Jason's profile
Unlike the rest of the Edge Team, Jason has yet to discover the joy of cycling or running. When he takes his two spoodles for their run around the block, it is on his new electric scooter that he replaced his Harley Davidson motorbike with. Most weekends, if not dabbling with Sound Engineering or Catering for community groups (and yes, the occasional online game), his wonderful and longsuffering wife will likely have a list of gardening activities for him. Sundays are fast becoming family days for his kids and grandkids as he trials his hand at Smoker BBQing.
Having been in the IT world for many years, he has held technical leadership, service delivery, project management and senior management roles. His strengths relate to technical strategy and managing complex IT environments through transformation.
Jason leads our Consulting Practice.

Read Graham's profile
What came first… the hunger or the food?! When Graham isn’t enjoying outdoors pursuits (too many to list!), you’ll likely find his head in the pantry or staring into a food cabinet at a café. Graham tells us that keeping fit and eating “well”, allows him to enjoy the other thing close to his heart; spending time with his family. Note… there are no implications implied in the order in which Graham’s interests are listed.
Graham’s background is from both the supplier and customer side of IT. He has a particular interest in IT governance, IT Service Management and project management.
Rachael Johnson
Senior Project Manager

Read Rachael's profile
Rachael Ingram is a Senior Project Manager and a PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP). She understands that different companies don’t always fit into one box when it comes to project management, and will work with her clients to ensure the practices and tools used are fit for purpose.
Outside of work, Rachael loves to take advantage of her husband’s new found obsession – the low and slow BBQ, offering her services to be the guinea pig for all new recipes he wants to try out. Her two sons keep her busy, and the family love to sneak in as much travel as possible – whether it’s just an hour drive outside of Christchurch to do a hike at Rakia Gorge or to head up to Auckland or across to Oz to visit friends and family.
Rachael has worked across a range of industries and sectors including aviation, agriculture, health, civil, social work, and software and development. Strong communication is at the heart of what Rachael does, with the ability to communicate and build report with stakeholders at all levels. She has often been described as a “driver”, and loves to deliver results for her clients.

Andy McDonald

Read Andy's profile
Andy’s passion isn’t running or mountain biking. He gets his outdoor fix from adventure motorcycling, hunting, and fishing instead. Like Kerry, Andy loves the Rural lifestyle living on a 10-acre block, in North Canterbury with his wife and their collection of animals. Andy has 27 years IT and Telecommunications experience with a strong background in WAN, LAN, Voice and Cloud projects.
Dom Yanzick
Business Analyst and Project Administrator
+64 20 4090 9117
Read Dom's profile
Dom, unlike his seasoned comrades in the Edge team, who've amassed countless tales from the trenches of the ITC industry over decades, Dom launched into his tech journey with a backpack brimming with enthusiasm, ready to tackle challenges head-on.
His approach to tech is akin to his zeal for outdoor adventures. As he delves into the complexities of enterprise architecture and navigates the intricacies of project management, Dom's fresh eyes see not just data flows and system integrations but a landscape ripe for exploration.
In the boardroom, Dom's presentations might lack the polished jargon of his seasoned colleagues, but they're imbued with a passion and clarity that cuts through the technical fog. He draws parallels between the agility needed to pivot on skis and the flexibility required to adapt to changing project scopes. Dom's entry into the tech world might have been unconventional, yet he's determined to make a significant impact.
