Experience

I’ve led national risk functions for some of Australia’s largest Tier 1 organisations with almost 20 years of experience across Infrastructure, Renewable Power & Utilities, Property Development & Urban Regeneration,

I bring a practical, collaborative, and strategic approach to every project. I help organisations embed tailored governance systems, improve risk maturity, and turn uncertainty into opportunity. Whether you need structure, facilitation, insight or a clear path forward, I work directly with you and your team to deliver it.

My facilitation skills support teams to align, act and move forward with purpose. I design every engagement to match your goals—not a one-size-fits-all framework.

As a trusted business partner, I work to shift the perception of governance, risk and assurance to facilitate foresight rather than hindsight.

Approach

Good governance creates opportunity. I work side-by-side with clients to co-design practical solutions that lift culture, improve clarity, and enable strategic foresight. My facilitation style encourages genuine discussion while driving action and accountability. I am calm when needed, clear when it counts, and confident when complexity demands it.
