Small business owners are hard-working individuals and after connecting with many over the past few years and listening to their motivations and challenges, it got me thinking. By utilising my extensive skills in administration, executive assistance and organisational efficiency to support small business, I could positively impact the success of their business.

In July 2010 Queensland Rail separated and QR National was formally privatised. QR National was reintroduced in December 2012 as Aurizon, a top 50 ASX Company and Australia’s largest rail freight operator. As assistant to the executive vice president, I was responsible for the management and coordination of high level, detailed diaries driven by corporate, stakeholder and divisional requirements, extensive travel domestically and Internationally and liaison and relationship management with internal executives, Board and external /international stakeholders and customers.I was fortunate to work with the same executive vice president throughout my time at Queensland Rail and Aurizon and experience two divisions of the company. The privatisation process and the ongoing growth and innovation of Aurizon to a top 30 ASX listed company, provided significant insights into business and change management. As an executive assistant, I was actively part of the change initiatives and a role model for the company culture and values.

My start in the Network division of Queensland Rail was initially a temporary assignment, assisting the executive vice president. The Network team, several thousand staff spread across Queensland, managed the passenger network and the below rail freight network. In addition to my executive assistant responsibilities, I was able to expand my capabilities to include the management of Network reception and building maintenance. I successfully educated and mentored four receptionists, with each receptionist moving on to higher-level administrative roles within the company.The transformation from Government to private company embraced every dimension – safety, customer service, operational excellence, productivity, technology and innovation. For me, it was a great opportunity to expand my knowledge and skills at an executive level while experiencing significant change as an employee.
