What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that allows me to leverage my strategic expertise and drive impactful results within a collaborative team environment.

I am a results-oriented leader with a proven track record in developing and executing strategic initiatives across diverse industries, including telecommunications, media, accessibility, and recycling. My focus is on fostering a collaborative environment and empowering those around me to achieve impactful results. I have successfully led teams through complex projects, ensuring that proposed solutions are commercially sound and aligned with broader strategic visions.

In my recent role as Head of Strategy at Ai-Media Technologies, I spearheaded the development of prospectus and IPO roadshow materials for a successful ASX listing, resulting in a market capitalization of $190 million. I also led the M&A due diligence process for four successful acquisitions valued at $52 million USD, demonstrating my ability to integrate strategic planning with operational execution. My experience in commercial consulting and product ownership has equipped me with the skills necessary to bridge the gap between high-level strategy and detailed execution.
