About

I specialise in building workforce capability to help organisations confidently adopt emerging technologies. Over the past 20 years, I have designed and led programs that lift digital capability at scale, training thousands of staff, embedding new tools into core business processes, driving efficiency gains, and strengthening organisational resilience.

My approach combines deep educational expertise with enterprise IT knowledge and governance experience. I demystify technologies such as generative AI, translating them into strategic workforce priorities and delivering structured learning initiatives that align with capability frameworks and organisational reform agendas. This ensures that investments in technology adoption yield measurable outcomes, ranging from enhanced service delivery to improved compliance and accountability.

I have held leadership roles across vocational, higher education, government, and corporate sectors, complemented by board and industry association positions. These experiences have sharpened my ability to engage executives, vendors, and frontline staff, and to navigate governance requirements while securing broad stakeholder support.

In short, I help organisations turn digital ambitions into clear strategies, accountable implementation, and future-ready workforces. If your agency is building capability to deliver on reform and harness emerging technologies responsibly, let’s connect.
