I've built operations, partnerships and events functions across Australia and Europe, most recently helping establish Griffith University's Centre for Applied Energy Economics and Policy Research.

As Centre Manager, I grew paid annual membership from 8 to 16 concurrent members while overseeing budgets, contracts, suppliers, governance, advisory board meetings and executive education programs. I also led the Centre's events, website, social media, email campaigns and media outreach.

At Oppizi, I led cross-country operations and around 20 campaigns annually across Australia and New Zealand, coordinating more than 10 Regional Managers for brands including Uber, Uber Eats, DoorDash, DiDi and The Iconic. I built long-term client partnerships and worked with Product and Engineering to improve the platform and field-team performance.

Earlier, I managed integrated advertising, events and activations for clients including Ferrero, Vodafone, SEB Group and Ursus Breweries, with project budgets up to €250K. I bring 15+ years of experience connecting teams, clients, budgets and delivery.
