Career & Personal Growth
My career goal is...
I am an experienced technology executive with a proven track record in leading digital transformation, strategic innovation, and operational excellence within healthcare and technology sectors. My goal is to add value to an organisation at either the c-suite or from a technology strategy perspective. Something where I can drive large-scale digital strategy or foster high-performing teams, and deliver meaningful impact through technology. I am particularly drawn to organisations that prioritise innovation, inclusivity, and purpose-driven outcomes—especially those in healthcare, aged care, or technology-enabled services. I’m also open to consulting opportunities where I can support growth, transformation, and governance in a fractional or interim capacity. In my next role, I’m looking for opportunities that allow me to influence strategic direction at the executive level, build diverse and inclusive technology teams, and contribute to sustainable, long-term growth.
