I’m a Pitta Pitta man, whose traditional lands span a region in Far Western Central Queensland, and a descendant of the Stolen Generations, with an extensive career in stakeholder engagement, project management, strategic planning, governance and First Nations issues. I grew up in a single parent environment, with my mother suffering severe mental health issues and my sister living with a disability, which has motivated me in pursuit of better outcomes for the socially disadvantaged.I’m currently employed at CBA as an Executive Product Owner, Indigenous Community Experience where I lead attraction, retention and mobility of our Indigenous talent. Proper to this I served as the first Senior Aboriginal Liaison Officer for the Parliament of NSW where my role was pivotal in breaking down barriers that have traditionally been in place for Aboriginal people seeking to understand, access and engage with the Parliament of NSW.I’m a stakeholder management specialist and have a track record in facilitating complex discussions to achieve positive outcomes for all parties involved. I have been Advisor to several State Government Ministers and has worked closely with senior government officers, other Ministers and Members of Parliament in pursuit of social policy reform across Aboriginal affairs, disability services, domestic and family violence, and youth.
