About Me

I can bring to your team skills, experience and good common business sense. And I can do it in a way that encourages your team to change behaviour for the better.

Here is a little about my story and the work I've done. To see what I've been doing recently, please look at my projects.

My Background

My consultancy was established in 2016. It continues a 22 year legacy supporting and developing local and global companies.

I've worked extensively across the Australian and New Zealand markets with project work in the US, France, Malaysia, Canada, South Korea, Thailand and Italy.

Prior to opening my own consultancy I worked in the Executive Team leading the Marketing and Communications function for the Pacific arm of performance management company NielsenIQ (formerly Nielsen). I also have a history of success in leading sales process improvements - training teams and coaching individuals. This work has produced outstanding commercial wins.

In addition to my training and facilitation work, I am a sought-after conference and boardroom presenter. 

Today I bring these skills and experiences directly to clients.


Teaching

When I am not working directly with clients, I lecture. I work with final year students in Professional Reflective Practice. I have also led the Marketing. Leadership & People Management coursework with the students in the Masters of Information Technology course at the University of Technology Sydney.
