I have a diverse and accomplished professional background, with extensive experience across technology, startups, and enterprise architecture. As a mentor in the Black Bird Giants program, I have helped early-stage founders grow their ideas into successful ventures. I’ve also founded multiple tech businesses, giving me hands-on experience in navigating the challenges of launching and scaling companies. My work at KPMG as an enterprise architect involved leading large-scale projects within the tax technology team, focusing on innovative solutions for tax management. Additionally, I delivered programs for accounting software within the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), further honing my skills in managing complex systems. I also ran a software development team at LEAP Legal Software, where I contributed to developing cloud-based solutions used by law firms worldwide. This role required me to lead a team that enhanced legal practice management software, helping streamline operations for over 61,000 lawyers globally. My achievements include mentoring startup founders, scaling tech businesses, and managing high-impact projects in both the public and private sectors. My unique blend of technical, managerial, and entrepreneurial experience positions me well to drive success in various innovative environments.More...
