As an entrepreneur, commercial advisor and psychologist I have spent the past 20 years transforming a range of leading international organisations, and the leaders within them seeking progressive leadership solutions. In 2001, I founded Maximus to bring a stronger leadership offering to the market. Today, Maximus is recognised as one of Australia’s most progressive future focused leadership firms, havingbeen built on decades of know how, progressive partnerships, dynamic solutions, strong theoretical research and commercial nous with humanity and heart. Inside Maximus, I am responsible for the firm’s future strategy, enterprise capabilities to deliver it, the sponsorship of exceptional relationships and the portfolio of offerings that differentiate our experience. I am an advocate for the criticality of strong leadership and legacy having witnessed the impact of great leadership and the absence of it. I believe leadership is both a privilege and responsibility, and that connecting personal purpose with a compelling future focused organisational vision leads to the creation of visionary companies.

At Singularity University, I set out to catalyse the future of leadership to bring together real purpose, the foresight to seize opportunities, and the capabilities to impact at scale.As an entrepreneur, psychologist and commercial advisor to leaders seeking progressive solutions, I advocate for the criticality of strong leadership and legacy. I have witnessed the impact of great leadership and the absence of it. I believe leadership is both a privilege and responsibility, and that connecting personal purpose with a compelling future-focused vision leads to the creation of visionary companies. This aspiration must be backed by the capabilities and discipline to deliver impact at scale. This philosophy and way of thinking is something Singularity University and I share. Keynote topics include: Conviction and the exponential mindset; Purpose and the North Star; Future-focused leadership; and Creating anti-fragile organisations.
