About Me

With over 30 years of experience in executive search and strategic recruitment , I have successfully led assignments across Australia, Europe, and Asia , helping organisations secure top-tier leadership and specialist talent that drives transformation and growth. My expertise lies in identifying off-market candidates and delivering recruitment solutions aligned with each client’s unique goals and culture.

Throughout my career, I have placed a wide range of senior professionals, including Chief Operating Officers, Country Managers, Finance Leaders, Commercial Executives, and Functional Specialists , supporting businesses through periods of change, scale, and evolution.

I have led national teams of Executive Search Consultants and spearheaded change management initiatives , including organisational restructuring and business model optimisation. My leadership has helped align recruitment strategies with long-term business objectives, delivering both capability and continuity.

My key strengths include:
  • End-to-end search assignments for executive and senior functional roles
  • Developing and executing tailored recruitment strategies across multiple markets
  • Labour force mobilisation and workforce planning , including remote and project-based deployments
  • Strategic partnerships with boards, executive teams, and HR leaders to solve complex talent challenges
  • Building trusted long-term relationships based on delivery, integrity, and market insight

I’m driven by a belief that the right people, in the right roles, make all the difference. Whether working with emerging businesses or established enterprises, my focus is always on delivering exceptional talent outcomes that enable long-term success.
