Career Journey
Career Story
I excel at distilling and simplifying the complex, solving ambiguous challenges that stall organisational progress, and building high-performing teams to execute deep business transformations by bridging strategy, technology and operations. I thrive in fast-paced, unconstructed, and demanding environments, where stakeholders' impact is a top priority. I am well versed in seeing around the edges, challenging the status quo, navigating and aligning challenging management and board environments. In the past, I helped launch Accenture's Sustainability practice and supported multiple Bain and Accenture clients with growth agendas, including developing their acquisition and divestment strategies. I also helped reposition GE O&G into the 2nd largest oilfield services and equipment provider through the $32B acquisition of Baker Hughes, and accelerating GE’s corporate innovation with multiple venture investments and new business creation initiatives. I’ve also worked with Orica’s Board of Directors to set the strategy to pivot Orica to lead in the NEW, including launching Orica Digital Solutions. I am at my best when I am reinventing businesses, driving transformations, incubating new ventures, launching new product and service offerings, structuring complex equity or commercial deals, and leading high-performing teams. I'm currently contemplating my next career move, with particular interest in exploring opportunities in private equity as an AI Operating Partner and Transformation Leader in a high growth portfolio company.
