About Me

“I believe a key part of an organisation’s long-term success lies in ensuring that alongside astute financial, legal and commercial decisions, it also fosters a culture of positive people engagement, effective safety management and a desire to achieve long-term sustainability. As a board member I support this belief by bringing the commitment, ability and a practical approach to incorporating ESG factors at a governance level. By leveraging my deep expertise and background in people, safety and sustainability, combined with a solid understanding of commerce and finance, I can help a board to develop strategies and make decisions that not only enhance commercial and financial growth, but also mitigate risks (particularly around people & safety) while generating sustainable long-term outcomes. I bring an open and diverse perspective to the board table, ensuring that my contributions are informed by both careful analysis and a deep understanding of the issues at hand. I believe that independent thinking and collaboration generally drive the best outcomes by creating well rounded, balance decisions that reflect the collective experience of the board. ”
