Bridging strategy, execution, and impact across people, products, and programs
I lead teams and programs that connect planning, design, operations, innovation and execution. I bring 24+ years of experience across complementary domains: marketing and communications, creative services and product development and delivery.
​
With 15 years in senior roles across private, public and NFP organisations, I guide multidisciplinary projects, complex workstreams and large budgets. I combine organisational objectives and a people-first approach with technical expertise and executive-level strategy to optimise processes, align stakeholders, engage customers and maximise impact across multiple channels and markets.
​
I have progressed into senior advisor, manager and director roles by simplifying complexity, encouraging collaboration, and translating strategic intent into clear plans and accountable delivery. My leadership focuses on capability, stakeholder alignment and customer-centred outcomes to deliver sustained, measurable impact.
