As an experienced senior leader and coach with a track record of delivering results across a range of industries, I am passionate about achieving better business performance by working with leaders, teams and individual contributors to bring out their best, in even the most challenging situations. As a passionate learner, both formally and 'on the job', I relish the opportunity to foster innovation and insight to complex operating environments and challenging business problems. Recognition of my proven record of delivering results across marketing, logistics, people and culture, skills and learning and human performance includes Public Relations Institute of Australia, Australian Exporter of the Year, Telstra Small Business of the Year and Gartner Strategic Employee Research and Insights awards for my work. As an accredited coach, I particularly enjoy supporting the continued growth, learning and development of the people I work with and I gain real satisfaction from sharing in, and actively supporting, their improved performance and achievements.I value networking and learning from industry peers and am currently assessing opportunities to make a valued contribution to organisations across people and culture strategy, organisational development, coaching, workforce skills and capability as well as Board roles.
