View LinkedIn ProfileExecutive Overview
I am a passionate, pragmatic and commercial Leader with broad generalist and strategic HR, ER and change experience. I am equally experienced across corporate and operational environments and versed across Australian and international remits (remit experience includes UK, US, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Middle East, Vietnam,China and Singapore). The cornerstone to my HR approach is direct and tangible alignment of people initiatives to business strategy, customer needs and organisation values. My leadership style is one of empowerment and trust with clear expectation setting, support and humility. Being a generalist leader I am well versed across all employee lifecycle activity, however my passion is embedded across developing and fostering leadership capability, empathetic leadership through change (organic and acquisitive) and the critical interplay between strategic IR/ER and employee engagement.
