I prioritised culture, trust and equity from the top down, whilst I helped businesses to scale and grow - profitably and sustainably. As a senior operations leader, it was my mission to leave a legacy of effective decision making, streamlined processes and successful performance.

Leading with empathy, integrity and genuine care, I built and develop high performance teams that are committed to business objectives and resilient in mission delivery.
