Biografie:

I'm Group Managing Director for ThoughtWorks across the Asia Pacific region, which currently includes ten offices across Singapore, China and Australia. I work closely with our clients located in and serviced by these offices to help them obtain a sustained competitive position through the innovative application of technology. I also work closely with our country MDs to oversee our operational results and the strategic evolution and expansion of our business across those regions.

I joined ThoughtWorks in 2006 for the opportunity to engage with a variety of leading organisations, as well as to collaborate with dedicated, talented and passionate people who love what they do and are engaged with and curious about the world around them.

My background is in project, programme and change management in a variety of industries. Prior to taking on the Group MD role, I was MD of Australia, and before that played a number consulting roles for clients in Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and India as well as management team roles in both India and Australia.

I love talking about the role - and value - of creative abrasion, (and the wide ranging aspects of diversity that are required to underpin it) in the tech industry. I also love sharing stories and experiences around agile delivery leadership (projects, programmes and portfolios), risk management, governance and distributed models.
