AUSTRALIA.

Professional Summary

Strategy and delivery professional with 10+ years of global experience leading projects, programmes, and cross-functional initiatives across government, enterprise, technology, and community sectors. PMP-certified and proven in managing complex, multi-stakeholder environments — translating ambiguous briefs into structured delivery plans, clear priorities, and measurable outcomes.

I have coordinated and led cross-functional teams across government agencies, SaaS organisations, and enterprise accounts, consistently operating at the intersection of strategy and execution. My experience spans public sector engagement, B2B technology, and advisory contexts, bringing a rare ability to manage competing priorities, communicate effectively with senior stakeholders, and deliver with rigour in regulated and high-complexity environments.

Based in Australia, I bring direct private and public sector experience alongside a global perspective shaped by work across Australian, African, and North American markets — enabling me to operate credibly in both local institutional contexts and international environments.
