World HRHuman Resources Consultant | Leadership Coach
Mar. 2012 - Mar. 2021Melbourne, AustraliaEmpowering SMEs with On-Demand, Expert HR Leadership: I established and led a virtual HR department designed specifically to empower the SME sector. Recognizing that growing businesses need agile support, I provided a comprehensive suite of HR services – from strategic planning to hands-on implementation – available flexibly and cost-effectively. This enabled clients, ranging from start-ups to ASX-listed firms, to access sophisticated HR solutions without the overhead of a full-time internal department. My focus was on delivering tangible results. I designed and executed strategies covering talent acquisition, employee development, organisational effectiveness, compliance, internal communications, employer branding, change leadership, and HR tech integration. I didn't just manage HR; I actively contributed to strategic decision-making by researching critical HR issues, providing data-driven analysis, and ensuring all people initiatives directly aligned with and propelled the client's core business objectives. My expertise was sought across a wide array of industries, including technology, financial services, automotive, cultural heritage, emergency services, education, and health, demonstrating adaptability in delivering forward-thinking HR solutions for diverse business needs.
