"Solving messy problems is where true growth happens—in business and in life. Building something lasting is what energises me."
I’ve built a career diving headfirst into the unknown - turning around businesses in unfamiliar markets, negotiating deals in languages I didn’t speak, and scaling operations across four continents and 20+ markets. One guiding principle has shaped my journey: high performance and genuine empathy can coexist. Grit drives results, but people create lasting impact.
I’ve worked and lived in some of the world’s most vibrant cities - Mumbai, Shanghai, London, Melbourne, Bangkok, New York, and more - learning from diverse teams and applying insights across industries and sectors. I’ve scaled start-ups using practices I gained from corporate consumer goods, negotiated multi-million-dollar contracts across language barriers, and even operationalised an art and education centre in a South African township.
I came from a world of beverages and vacuums when I joined a non-profit start-up in the education sector. Not the obvious leap, but that’s the point - I’ve never shied away from a challenge. I transformed a $30M loss into a $3M profit, invested in myself by re-skilling through a year-long, full-time course, and led the development of a digital platform, being an early adopter of AI to drive innovation and reshape an organisation’s growth trajectory. I raised $30M from global leaders like the Bezos Family Foundation, learned new sports, and built lifelong friendships in every country I’ve worked in.
Through it all, I’ve stayed true to one belief: if you focus on building competencies and lean into the challenges that test your courage and resilience, success will follow. Digital tools, AI and Technology have become cornerstones in how I future-proof businesses, blending them with strategic thinking to solve complex problems.

I’m ready to bring this belief and my experiences to an organisation that desires to scale sustainably in the face of uncertainty. If you’re looking for someone with this mindset, I’d love to explore how we can work together.
