Empowering boards & associations for lasting impact.
Purposeful strategy and practical governance. High-impact conferences and study tours. Twenty years of hands-on experience in operational excellence and collaboration, with a growing passion for practical AI.
Strategy with a steady hand, and a sense of humour.
I'm a Certified Association Executive with a global perspective, currently CEO of an industry trade association and a board director of the Australasian Society of Association Executives (AuSAE). Over two decades I've guided boards through change, built membership campaigns that connect, and transformed how organisations work, across industries, borders and teams.
As a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, I bring contemporary governance practice to every boardroom I sit in or advise. And as an early, hands-on adopter of AI, I help organisations cut through the hype and put these tools to practical use.
I believe the best results come from curiosity, honesty and a shared sense of purpose, and a little humour doesn't hurt either.
