About
Over 20 years’ experience in managing complex multidisciplinary projects and leadership roles with entrepreneurial
mindset and sustainability at the core.
As Project Manager at BHP, I manage multiple phases of the project lifecycle. I have in-depth understanding of all
aspects of project operation from pre-feasibility to in-delivery turnarounds as well as an ability to resolve complex
problems while retaining a strategic viewpoint of business priorities to accelerate returns. My experience in
investment case development, financial and business planning along with stakeholder engagement allow me to
effectively govern delivery and bridge the gaps between the business vision and execution.
Early in my career, after graduating with a degree in Chemical Engineering (2001), I began working in leadership
roles in a variety of industries: Banking, Telecom and Medical Equipment. Business efficiency and highperformance focus helped me to receive a recognition for strong business results as a Citibank Branch Manager
"The best branch yield of the year", culminating in co-owning a business for 6 years before moving to Australia in
2015.
While I have always been focused on business efficiency, I became passionate about the environment and
completed a Master’s in Environmental Management at Flinders and Circular Economy: Transition for Future
Sustainability at MIT.
What excites me most is the combination of business efficiency, project management, leadership and innovation.
