Summary

With over 13 years experience in the FMCG food/ beverage sector, I have a strong history in delivering outcomes in fast-paced operations.


Initially from a warehousing background, my career has taken me to milk manufacturing at Bega's Chelsea site and from there into white collar Logistics and Planning roles out of our Docklands head office.


Experienced in working with operators from warehouse floor to the C-Suite, I feel my operational experience and authentic approach are great tools - helping to develop trusting relationships, and in turn, driving open dialogue and transparency in delivering outcomes.
