What I'm looking for

I seek senior program/project roles in government or public sector transformation where I can lead cross-functional teams, drive data and cyber initiatives, and influence strategy in collaborative, outcome-focused environments.

I am a data-driven senior project manager with over 18 years in public service and eight years in executive leadership, focused on delivering customer-centric, measurable outcomes.

I have led large, complex initiatives including a $68M next-generation cyber PDNS procurement and implementation, achieving $63M in cost savings while transitioning ~600 partner organisations and reducing requirements from 400 to 40 to ensure market readiness.

I spearhead enterprise data programs such as One Defence Data, negotiating Data Interface Management Agreements, shaping data governance and metadata standards, and guiding technical assurance across Pega, SuccessFactors and cloud-based DevOps toolchains.

I lead through influence, systems and design thinking—aligning stakeholders, optimising vendor delivery, and embedding change to improve people, processes, technology and culture to deliver strategic outcomes.
