About

Operator who governs.
Director who executes.

"The discipline that wins at the Paralympics is the same discipline that wins in a boardroom — clarity of purpose, ruthless prioritisation, and the willingness to be accountable."

I'm a technology executive and board director with 25+ years across SaaS, cybersecurity, AI, and enterprise software. I've led turnarounds, SaaS transformations, and international growth across ASX-listed and global businesses. I bring an operator's instinct and a director's discipline.

Investor narrative, capital planning, M&A readiness, and post-deal integration. Having run fundraising and exits, I understand what boards need to hear and challenge.
