What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead AI automation, data and decision systems where governance, measurable business outcomes and safe production delivery matter. I value roles that partner closely with executives, improve finance or operations, and build capable teams.

At The Office (WA), I own an AI and automation portfolio of 100+ workflows across finance, operations and compliance, with more than 30 running unattended in production. I build controls first—approval gates, append-only audit trails, fail-closed defaults and kill switches—so automation can safely handle live client data and client money.

I've reduced manual financial reporting effort by 70% and invoice processing time by 80%, restored visibility of A$156K in overdue receivables, and led analytics work that cut reporting cycles by over 40%. Across engineering, analytics and finance operations, I translate executive problems into governed systems, practical KPI definitions and measurable operating improvements.
