I enjoy combining strategic thinking with analytical rigour to drive performance and maximise shareholder value.Prior to commencing my Board career, I was an M&A partner of Grant Thornton and William Buck. In these roles I gained significance experience providing valuation, due diligence and advisory services, including forecast reviews, for ASX listed and global companies, as well as for privately owned companies and private equity firms. I advised on numerous transactions (acquisitions, investments, divestments, equity and debt raisings and IPOs), across a range of industries. I also gained valuable insights on governance and risk from acting as an expert witness on large commercial disputes.I enjoy asking questions that challenge people’s thinking and pride myself on the quality of my work, my business acumen, integrity, and my open, honest and direct communication.I love to inspire others to achieve their best. I enjoy sharing the benefit of the broad experience that I have gained from working across a wide range of industries.I have a keen interest in continual learning and development to ensure that I remain at the forefront of my industry.I am a strong advocate for ESG, diversity, flexible working and a balanced lifestyle.When I am not working, I love sharing meals (and a good bottle of wine) with family and friends, walking through the country, and indulging my love for seeing new places.
