I have experience in diverse policy and regulatory content areas, including technology and telecommunications, transport and infrastructure, financial services and fintech, education, retail and consumer, social services and not-for-profit sectors.
I use my background in politics, government, the corporate sector, and not-for-profits to deliver measurable results.
I have held senior roles and delivered results for organisations whose growth and commercial success hinged on specific public policy outcomes and the distillation of complex technical issues into a straightforward and broadly accepted narrative as part of government relations, communication, media, and engagement strategy.
I have successfully led strategic functions for industry associations, major corporations, and governments, contributing to commercial, policy, and political success by serving as a valued strategic counsel and through effective policy development, regulatory and political strategy, strategic engagement, and communications.
I have a track record of excelling while managing some of Australia’s most complex public policy and challenges. I deal with ambiguity, growth, change, and crisis with a strategic approach that enables successful execution regardless of pace, risk, volume or the profile of the issues or environment. I can bring new and different approaches to problem-solving and strategies that deliver measurable outcomes.
I have a history of taking on new and challenging roles in diverse and unique content areas that require me to be a quick study and become proficient while applying my skills and experience. I have built and led multi-jurisdictional teams of up to 50 FTE and am equally successful in acting as a sole contributor.
