At Tango IT, I advise commercial, not-for-profit and local government clients on digital, cyber security and data governance strategy. Since 2022, I’ve delivered around 30 client engagements across Tango and Solutions+, including digital roadmaps and cyber security assessments.

I’ve run approximately ten competitive go-to-market processes, from requirements definition and market scans through scored evaluations and contract analysis. My approach is vendor-neutral: I don’t sell software or managed services, and I take no vendor commissions.

At HiQA Geotechnical, I grew revenue from $800K to $8M across the Northern Territory and Western Australia. I ran national operations, wrote large tenders, led NATA accreditation across the laboratories, and selected and implemented the laboratory information management system that became the core operating platform.

I also teach freediving at Blueback Freediving & Yoga, where I’ve certified 40+ students to PADI and Molchanovs standards. My coaching and curriculum combine apnea physiology with trauma-informed breathwork, with safety and risk management central to the work.
