I work with organisations at the point where procurement, technology, and commercial strategy become business-critical. I am a transformative leader with a proven track record of driving synergy, consolidation, and strategic alignment across complex, high-stakes environments. My expertise lies in leading corporate service and procurement transformations with a focus on operational excellence, data-driven decision making, and strategic sourcing — underpinned by a strong financial foundation developed through a Big 4 background. Over the past two decades, I’ve built and led procurement and commercial functions, negotiated complex global technology and outsourcing agreements, and helped organisations move from transactional buying to strategic partnerships that drive real enterprise value. I ground my leadership style in clarity, accountability, and performance. I build and guide teams through periods of significant change, empowering them with clearly defined roles, strong governance, and a culture focused on delivering measurable outcomes. I have led high-impact initiatives that have advanced organisations to higher levels of operational maturity and data capability, delivering improvements in profitability, cost efficiency, and commercial performance. Today, as CEO of Global Platinum Consulting, I advise executives and boards on: • Technology procurement and transformation • Strategic sourcing and global supplier models • Commercial negotiations across cloud, outsourcing, and digital platforms • Building best-in-class procurement functions My approach is simple: procurement should not be a cost centre; it should be a strategic lever. I’ve worked across global organisations, including establishing procurement functions from scratch (Cuscal), advising major enterprises (including BlueScope), and supporting multi-million dollar technology and outsourcing decisions. Alongside consulting, I’m actively building and investing in ventures: • Co-founder of MyFam • Investor in Bidtec • Expanding BPO and outsourcing capabilities into Australia I also serve as a certified Advisory Board Chair, working with leadership teams to navigate growth, risk, and transformation. A visionary with an entrepreneurial edge, I bring urgency and conviction to innovation – inspiring teams and stakeholders to embrace digital progress and continuously pursue excellence.
