Chief Operating Officer at Catchoftheday.com.au, its sister sites Scoopon.com.au and Grocery.com.auRecruited to navigate the company's rapid growth, I then spearheaded the rigorous due diligence process for a $80 million investment from a consortium, securing a 40% stake. By the time of my departure, the Catch of The Day Group had blossomed into a powerhouse with over 300 employees and annual revenue exceeding $250 million.

Successfully spearheaded the transformation of a national dual-brand retailer into a multi-channel powerhouse by harnessing the power of e-commerce. Led the assessment and strategic integration of all existing systems, recommending and implementing upgrades to ensure alignment with best practices and future needs. My expertise in IT, accounting, finance, supply chain, and e-commerce integration proved invaluable in overcoming resistance to change and fostering a comprehensive understanding of the e-commerce channel within a traditionally brick-and-mortar environment.

Within a high-growth national retail chain, I transitioned beyond financial control and administration to take on wider general management responsibilities. Driving impact in crucial areas like e-commerce feasibility, ERP upgrades, integrated IT, supply chain enhancements, and optimized business processes were significant highlights of this rapid career evolution.

With qualifications as a diamond and jewel setter and with experience in manufacturing jewellery, I founded this business, a supplier of tools and equipment, including display material and packaging to the manufacturing and retail jewellery industries in Western Australia.
