My background

It's always interesting to reflect on my career and think about how my experience has led me to where I am today. I've played key leadership roles in many organisations and business transformation has been a common thread in the successes I've enjoyed over the last 20 years.

From the establishment of the world's largest premium wine company, now known as Treasury Wine Estates to the successful turnarounds of both the Kmart and Aristocrat businesses – all Australian owned businesses with a strong international presence and all renowned as significant transformation success stories.

I have also held senior HR and transformation roles in the during turbulent periods in both the telecommunications and banking industries.
