| I am one of six kids. My parents never went to school. They migrated to Australia with nothing but the belief that hard work could build a life worth living.
At seven years old I was already running my own little businesses. I didn’t know what entrepreneurship was. I just knew I wanted to build things. That instinct never left me. I didn’t take the traditional path. No MBA. No corporate fast track. I built my expertise the hard way — two decades of being placed in the most complex, high-stakes execution environments in Australian and global business, and being trusted to make them work. What I discovered along the way is that no matter the industry — banking, energy, retail, healthcare, financial services, FMCG, automotive, payments — the problems are remarkably similar. Strategy exists. Ambition exists. Investment exists. What’s missing is the execution infrastructure to make it all actually run. That is the gap I close. I am the Founder & CEO of AMO (Agile Management Office) — a consulting and advisory firm that connects strategy, delivery and operations for complex organisations. We are not a traditional consulting firm. We don’t sell strategy and disappear. We build the execution infrastructure that organisations can actually sustain — long after we leave. Our proprietary frameworks — The AMO Way® and CIAB+ (Capability in a Box) — are the practical architecture of execution certainty. Tested across industries. Proven in regulated environments. Built to last. Over 20+ years, across 16 countries, 30+ organisations, and 20+ industries, I have been brought in when execution matters most. When a financial services firm needed to reset a $500M portfolio — and we found $2M in unallocated funding in the process. When a Big Four bank needed someone to lead their first ever global program across 16 Asia Pacific countries. The independent review gave it the highest stakeholder satisfaction score ever recorded in that organisation. When one of Australia’s largest energy retailers had paid two major consulting firms to design an agile model that nobody could make work. We made it work. When a $40B retailer needed governance infrastructure built from scratch post-demerger. Years later, with entirely new management, it still runs exactly as we designed it. |
In 20+ years I have not had a client I couldn’t help.
I hold a Board Co-Chair position at The PMO Leader — one of the world’s leading communities for governance and delivery professionals.
My work with Aarhus University in Denmark contributed to changing their study regulations — a process governed by ministry and community boards — resulting in better student outcomes and a new benchmark for how project management education is delivered. I also host international interns through the university, giving emerging talent their first start in Australia.
I am a keynote speaker, guest lecturer, and host of the Agile Ideas Podcast — conversations with leaders serious about strategy, execution, and what it actually takes to perform at scale.
I have been recognised as Australia’s First PMO Influencer of the Year, LinkedIn AU Top 100, and AIPM Award Winner.
I have built all of this while managing an anxiety disorder — publicly and without apology. It has taught me more about performance under pressure than any qualification ever could.
I am also a proud BeyondBlue Ambassador. Over six years and 50+ volunteer events I have worked to normalise mental health conversations in professional environments — because the boardroom is not exempt from what it means to be human.
I am a CALD woman in a field that does not always make space for people like me. My greatest achievement is not any single engagement or award. It is that I built a world-class execution capability from nothing — self-taught, self-funded, and built on the same values my parents carried here with nothing but hope.
If you are leading an organisation where execution is not keeping pace with ambition — I’d like to have a diagnostic conversation. Not a sales call. A structured conversation to understand what’s actually happening and whether we can help.
The only limits in life are the ones you set for yourself
Organisations I Have Supported Include
A Few of My Favourite Things
Cooking
I love it so much. I do it every day, and I love talking about it (and I’m pretty good at it too, let’s be honest)
Shopping
A little shoe-obsessed. Shoes are the exclamation point at the end of a fashion statement
Travelling
From a fear of flying to 16 countries and counting! I’ve been to so many amazing places already.
Tyson
It’s the little things in life that are the most important. This little guy is Tyson and he’s a ball of energy!
