Summary
I've spent over a decade managing ICT projects, leading Agile transformations, and enhancing system resilience. At Services Australia, I led an Agile transformation that boosted productivity by 20%. Working with the Office of National Intelligence and Anglicare, I revamped SaaS integrations to strengthen security and efficiency. Consistently, I've delivered projects ahead of schedule by 15% and under budget by 20%. With a Baseline AGSVA Clearance and NV1 approval pending, I’m prepared to step into high-stakes environments where secure leadership is essential. For me, fostering agile teams isn’t just about performance metrics—it’s about nurturing innovation, inspiring growth, and watching teams evolve to exceed every expectation as they progress, step by step.
