Summary

developed my career to build broad management expertise working in Australia and internationally in several roles and industries. I attended Leadership Programs at Harvard University to advance my personal and leadership development. As Founder and Chief Executive Officer I ran a SASS Technology Company. I lead the development and monetisation of an enterprise mobile technology. This app technology connects with disparate systems to convert’s paper-based processes to mobile /digital, improving latency and validation of source data for creating the transparency required to reduce costs significantly in client organisations. Recently as CFO in a national construction company, for 7 years, I led the transformation of finance, IT, HR and HSEQ, and the Plant Department introducing a culture of productivity and leadership while reducing costs by approximately $6M over 4 years. As principal advisor to the CEO transformed executive culture to promote and implement modern management techniques to improve productivity and optimise profitability. Previously as CFO of a large transport and logistics company, for 4 years, I implemented financial strategies to turn the company around from the brink of insolvency to a successful trade sale. Other senior roles included business management, marketing and customer service, commercial and financial management, accounting, and taxation. Key areas of expertise included my ability to identify strengths & weaknesses in business operations and implement strategies to reduce costs and optimise profitably, without compromising benefits to employees, the community, and the environment.

I am a seasoned manager with excellent conceptual and analytical skills, combined with sound judgement and a leadership style that is achievement orientated, supported by excellent people interaction and communication skills. I have an ability to demonstrate and implement strategic focus combined with financial and people management skills.
