Summary

PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Senior Electrical Project Manager and entrepreneur with 15+ years’ experience across the electrical, construction, and commercial sectors. Proven leader of people and projects, recognised for building high-performing teams, delivering complex projects, and applying strong commercial and financial acumen to drive sustainable results.

Following the successful sale of my electrical contracting business, I led the build and scale of the Wise Preschool business, delivering four centres to completion. During development phases, I undertook targeted executive and contract roles, including General Manager of Football at West Perth Football Club and Senior Project Management engagements with Melchor. With Wise Preschool now operating independently under an established leadership team, I am seeking a return to a full-time senior leadership or management role.
