Key strengths

Strategy that reaches the people who deliver it.

Four things I bring to a leadership team: a plan people can act on, measures that tell the truth, a team that grows, and advice that lands with executives.

01

Strategy into action

Led Service Victoria's business-wide Stakeholder Engagement Strategy from development to implementation, and oversaw government and ministerial initiatives.

02

Performance and insight

Built KPI dashboards and monthly reporting. I turn process data into clear measures for council leaders.

03

Team leadership

Directed and mentored delivery teams across government digitisation projects and AU & NZ campaigns, with a focus on outcomes.

04

Executive communication

Prepare presentations, proposals and advice for senior and government audiences.

Experience

State government, local government and the partners who serve them.

From growing Service Victoria's reach into councils to advising public sector leaders today.
