Executive Business Professional with over 25 years experience in project management and service delivery, business strategy, stakeholder engagement, management and contract negotiation. With a range of experiences from software development, business informatics, government engagement and business opportunity development. A key strength is my ability to translate strategic policy initiatives into deliverable outcomes, overseeing planning, development and delivery of these projects. I am a keen follower and early adopter of emerging technologies, strong supporter of medicinal cannabis and quality focused.Since early 2017 I have focused on providing access to medicinal cannabis testing products in Australia through import and international distribution partnerships. Through Novachem, I have imported cannabis reference standards to the local fledgling cannabis industry ensuring Novachem is the preferred choice for sourcing cannabis testing materials throughout Australia and that Australian cannabis products are held to the highest international quality standards.A focus on this quality has identified opportunities in the certification and verification of laboratory testing for cannabis and providing access to the entire cannabis product lifecycle from cultivator to end user and led to the creation of an independent verification organisation, Vericann. Specialties: opportunity identification, business analysis, product commercialisation, supplier negotiation, international procurement, business infrastructure development, strategic communication and community engagement.
