I’m an independent advisor, coach and consultant working out of Melbourne.
With over two decades of experience in the technology industry, I’ve honed my skills in leading strategic change and fostering innovation across the world. My passion is to help leaders and organisations navigate complexity and build a sustainable future.
I offer a pragmatic approach to problem-solving, including executive coaching, leadership development, and strategic consulting. Together, we can unlock your full potential and drive organisational success.
I love talking about the role - and value - of team centric leadership, driving increased diversity and inclusion, and leading organisations through change, both organisational and existential. I also love sharing stories and experiences around agile delivery leadership (projects, programmes and portfolios), risk management, governance and distributed models.
Examples of previous talks / appearances:
Science, Technology, Engineering, Art/Design and Maths are all creative pursuits. Combining these talents allows teams to see further and create winning products. The business case for diversity along demographic lines is clear, but more importantly it's the right thing to do. Discover how to uncover, unleash and take advantage of the diversity of background, talent and creativity in the people around you. And find out what this means for building a high performing product team, talent pools and your own career.

Invited to speak at Huaweii’s IT leadership conference, I spoke about the importance and practicalities of building responsiveness into your organisations teams, structures and processes.
First, I spoke about the set of challenges we find ourselves navigating with our clients around the world today. And those challenges come both from the outside world, and from within my clients’ own organisations.
Then the things I’ve observed that allow organisations to thrive in this environment - and that is about the path to building a responsive organisation.
And I finished by walking through the most common barriers we come across - and strategies to overcome these.
