SANDBAG Inc.Chief Executive Officer
Aug. 2019 - Aug. 2021Brisbane, Queensland, AustraliaWith the support of my team at SANDBAG, I believe some of our greatest achievements have been:

• Increased DES revenues by 91% from FY20 to FY21, and reversed losses to make a strong surplus
• Increased NDIS revenues by 17% from FY20 to FY21, and increase surplus by 63%
• Rebuilt our Skilling Queenslanders for Work training and employment program which had been unsatisfactory and regained the trust and praise of contract managers at Department of Employment, Small Business & Training to secure the highest amount of funding in the most recent round of SQW funding for Brisbane Metro region. Achieved excellent outcomes, far exceeding completion and employment KPIs.
• Advocated for and secured an extra 80% funding for our Domestic Violence Counselling service during FY21 over and above our block funding
