”Leadership, culture and decision-making support to drive high performance.

01

Organisational Culture

Supporting leadership teams to shape a culture that strengthens performance, reinforces values and fits the demands of their context.

Inclusive Leadership & Culture

In partnership with Inclusivity Quotient, I support leaders in male-dominated industries to build more inclusive, respectful and high-performing workplace cultures.

Typically engaged when:

  • “Boys’ club” dynamics are limiting performance, engagement or retention
  • Organisations recognise that old ways are no longer serving current needs
  • Leaders want practical support to shift behaviour and foster a more cohesive workplace culture

 

Outcomes: shared leadership commitment to change, more inclusive day-to-day behaviours, and better workplaces for everyone.

About

”My work combines strategic thinking with deep experience in the human side of organisations.

I help leaders and leadership teams clarify what matters most, work together more effectively, and create cultures where both people and performance thrive. Clients value my calm presence, constructive challenge and ability to help people do their best thinking together.

I’ve worked in this field since 2002, partnering with organisations across financial services, mining, technology, professional services, engineering, and public service in Australia and internationally. My approach draws on a strong foundation in leadership, organisational culture, and strategy. Earlier in my career I was an Associate Principal with McKinsey in Sydney, where I was part of the team that developed the firm’s approach to leadership and culture. Before that I worked as a strategy consultant for around 10 years and as an entrepreneur, leading and building businesses in Australia and the US.

This blend of strategic rigour, commercial experience and deep interest in human behaviour shapes how I work: practical, outcome-focused, respectful and human.
