Using my combined experienced in the whole of government and private sector, I specialise in executive level leadership, large-scale integrated planning and implementation measures that focus leaders/managers and organisations on alignment of strategic intent and sustainable operations or service delivery. My core focus is to ‘develop strategically and drive operationally’ preferably as the business leader in a senior leadership role or as an advisor/mentor to executive leaders and C-Board level. It’s this laser focus which has seen me work with diverse sectors and portfolios across Australia, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. Much of my experience has centered on large-scale contracts for government clients, predominantly in Defence, national security, operational logistics – encompassing crisis and emergency management and business continuity. I bring the following to an organisation:• Senior leadership that aligns corporate strategy and intent with operational output and execution, performance delivery, relationship management and continuous improvement.• Through a balanced, structured, disciplined and process driven process I ensure business operations align with the commercial framework and strategy.• Diverse network across the corporate sector and national security in Defence at the one and two-star level (and in cases three star) and up to First Assistant Secretary and Divisional Head level in other departments. Networks across the national security sector, primarily at the Director level and in cases higher – mostly with the ‘Primes’ and professional services entities. • Experience in working with Boards and Executive colleagues to enhance or improve existing business organisations, structures and processes. • Experience in leading, coaching, mentoring and developing leaders and leadership teams to enhance effectiveness in planning capability and business execution functionality.• Highly developed communication skills (including stakeholder management, crisis and issue management, liaison and contract negotiation) gained in complex and sensitive environments – at B2B, B2G G2G and C level (domestically and at an international level). • Program and project management (commercial metrics) of large-scale complex operations and diverse portfolios in Australasia and the Middle East. • Experienced in relationship management that enhances profile and reputation, aligns the business (people and operations) with clients and promotes client retention.
