Summary
With 14 years of experience in the ABS, I am enthusiastic about the future of data acquisition. I recognize the potential of administrative data supply and its ability to inform government policy through advanced data mining and linkage techniques. My expertise lies in implementing successful change management strategies and leading teams towards innovative approaches, while also enhancing the experience of our data suppliers and survey providers. Let's work together to realize the significant benefits of this modernization program.
