About me

I’m a strategic advisor, regulatory specialist, and leadership coach with over 10 years’ executive experience, including serving as a Chief Executive. I’ve led high-stakes reform, strengthened systems and lifted performance across education, insurance and health. Having worked closely with sectors serving vulnerable communities, I’m driven to create solutions that protect and empower people.

My strength is deep systems thinking. I map the ecosystem, spot patterns and opportunities quickly, and move easily between big-picture strategy and operational delivery. This ability to read and translate the system at different levels builds trust, surfaces issues early and brings clarity and momentum to every conversation.

By combining executive project leadership skills with structured problem-solving tools, I deliver the right outcomes for your organisation within agreed timeframes and scope, even in complex environments.
