I am a globally experienced Senior Executive passionate about helping organisations achieve their ambitions with a clear and compelling purpose, strong values and guiding principles that frame the business strategy and commercial actions. I focus my energy on creating the conditions that engage and empower individuals and teams to do their best work and thrive, starting with a strong connection between people and the organisation.My role at Starlight Children’s Foundation is to help people shine in everything they do. Starlighters have a powerful belief that happiness matters and support kids and teens in some of their toughest of times by positively changing their healthcare experience through play, creativity, entertainment and social connection. Starlight’s vision is a future where everyone experiences a happy childhood and that’s what drives our work every day, brightening the lives of seriously ill and hospitalised children and young people.Prior to Starlight, my experience at Colgate-Palmolive enabled me to develop a broad business understanding, a global perspective, and to lead and participate in diverse teams. Working in a dynamic business with constant challenges and opportunities, I learned the power of harnessing people’s talents and creativity to achieve the Company’s goals and purpose, a belief that everyone deserves a future they can smile about.I am a passionate supporter of the performing arts and the power of live performance to transform an audience, spark joy and encourage a deeper understanding of our world. I also enjoy engaging with primary school students as they develop their thinking and response to challenging social questions and dilemmas. These interests direct my current volunteering commitments with The Ballet Society and Primary Ethics.
