What Can I Do for You?
Let me bring my extensive experience to help you solve problems, enhance your business, develop your skills and maximise opportunities.
I’m an experienced general manager with more than 35 years of experience leading small, medium and large teams. I am located in Brisbane, Queensland.
I am able to assess issues objectively and take a holistic view of specific problems and opportunities so I can give you advice and on how best to approach them and support you with delivering outcomes. Being independent of your organisation allows me to have fresh eyes and often see things that can sometimes be missed when you are involved in the business daily.
I’ve worked with three ASX top 20 listed organisations, not-for-profits, charities and start-ups. My ability to adapt my style and approach to improve outcomes is due to the real life experience I have in roles like yours. My advice will be practical and effective. If you need to fix problems within your organisation or team, my advice will be practical advice that actually works.
My Masters degree and Harvard Disruptive and Business Strategy training, coupled with years of hands on experience, allows me to work with management theory and practice to develop solutions which can be operationalised.
