I've spent more than 20 years working across technology, healthcare, community organisations and governance - often alongside senior leaders, and across the boundaries of different roles and teams.
That means I tend to notice the gaps: where priorities don't quite connect, where ownership is unclear, where a process works on paper but not in practice, or where the same conversation keeps happening without moving anything forward.
SELECTED WORK
What this looks like in practice.
From frustration to a governance overhaul
An AGM process that clearly wasn’t working became the catalyst for rethinking how constitutional change was developed, consulted on and brought to members.
The work: Constitutional review · Member consultation · Decision frameworks · AGM governance
Turning moving parts into a way forward
In a global technology business, work rarely sat neatly within one function. I worked across leaders to connect priorities, make dependencies visible and create enough structure for people to make decisions and keep work moving.
The work:
Cross-functional programs · Stakeholder alignment · Decision-making · Change
From recurring discussion to visible action
A complex piece of work had become stagnant, with the same discussions recurring and no clear decision authority. I made the work visible, clarified actions and ownership, and introduced simple planning tools to create momentum.
The work: Decision clarity · MS Planner · Action ownership · Delivery planning
STORIES & INSIGHTS
Some things need more room to think.
I write about the things I notice, the questions I can't quite leave alone, and the ideas that keep following me around - across work, people, identity and everything in between.
I thought I had five careers
For years, my career looked disconnected on paper. Then I stopped looking at the job titles and started looking at the pattern.
It didn't matter. Until it did.
For years, being donor conceived was simply a fact about me. Then DNA testing changed what that fact meant.
You can't implement trust
I thought better communication would bring people along. It took me much longer to understand that understanding and agreement are not the same thing.
