Career Journey
Career Story
Fractional Strategy & BizOps leader with a track record of scaling digital, product-led businesses from zero to growth. Iโve been the first hire across Chief of Staff, Strategy & Ops and Consultant roles at high-growth companies like Spotify, Instant, Linktree, and Foxtel (before Netflix!).
I drive commercial outcomes, operational clarity and strategic velocity. I specialise in standing up new functions, driving cross-functional projects, and solving complex problems in fast-paced environments. Hold deep expertise across SAAS, content and commerce platforms. Available for high-leverage strategic work where momentum matters and the problems are complex.
