Nothing gets done in business without the right kind of guidance, advice and support. In fact, over 63% of commercial businesses fail and much of that can be put down to strategy or governance issues. If you surround yourself with experts in an Advisory Board arrangement you instantly mitigate that risk.
With over 25 years of leadership across governance, HR, compliance, and commercial strategy, I bring a unique blend of experience and vision to board roles. As a Director of Lifesaving Victoria (LSV), the largest volunteer and emergency services organisation in Victoria, I’ve navigated complex challenges, driving organisational success across compliance, HR, and commercial opportunities. I also co-chaired the Future Governance Working Group, steering constitutional reform to future-proof the organisation.
My deep understanding of recruitment and HR is built on decades of consulting with global enterprises, founding innovative businesses like Talentflexx and Recstra, and co-creating the industry-leading podcast TaPod, Australia’s premier HR and talent podcast. I am adept in commercial strategy and recognising markets, solutions and products that resonate with the Talent Industry. I am in the unique position of speaking with Industry Experts every single day. I was recently named a Global Top 100 Most Influential TA Thought Leaders by TA Tech and have spoken at International TA Conferences. I also consult to TA teams on the use of AI in the recruitment Process.
I am a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and hold a Master of Professional Education and Training. My approach is rooted in transparency, collaboration, and strategic insight, honed by my work with multi-stakeholder groups, including the TA vendor community, presidents of 57 Lifesaving Victoria clubs and community-focused organisations. I also coach within the AFL system, working with elite AFL talent as they launch their professional careers.
A proven communicator and strategist, I thrive in aligning operational goals with long-term impact. I am now seeking opportunities to contribute my expertise in a Board of Directors Role in HRTech, recruitment technology, or recruitment agencies—fields where innovation meets human connection.
I also have experience in setting up Advisory Boards for businesses, so if you are at the beginning of your Board journey, I can support you there too.
I’d be excited to discuss if this is of interest.
