I am an experienced C-level executive and consultant, and have worked internationally across leading ASX organisations. I was previously Executive General Manager Strategy and Corporate Development at AGL and, prior to this, a Partner at McKinsey&Co. I have over 20 years’ experience assisting clients in the Energy and Resources industry on their transition. This includes deep technical expertise, commercial activity and strong people leadership skills.

I enjoy working with clients on their energy transition across all its dimensions and dealing with this complex change. I provide my clients with deep problem solving and scoping skill, and most importantly, far-reaching people influencing skills – from Board to frontline.
