20+ years delivering complex transformation across government, defence, APAC commercial, banking, and logistics — where the structural risk is rarely where the dashboard says it is.
I am a Program Director currently leading the support solution implementation for three safety-critical systems — CMATS, ADOTS, and BVCS — at Airservices Australia, with joint governance across Airservices and Defence. NV1 Security Clearance.
Before this: USD 75M+ APAC portfolios across 14 countries at NCR Corporation. Operational transformation across five countries at Visy Global Logistics. Program leadership at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, ANZ, Coles.
What holds across every program I have led: the root cause of failure is never where the post-mortem says it is. I built the ITEF diagnostic to locate it earlier — and address it before it becomes visible.
Full background →Most post-mortems diagnose execution failure. The root cause is almost always upstream of it. ITEF is a five-layer diagnostic I use to identify where a program is structurally at risk — before that risk becomes visible in delivery metrics.
I provide senior program and portfolio leadership in complex environments — government, cross-agency, APAC commercial — with full delivery accountability, commercial and governance overlay, and P&L ownership where required.
I work with organisations navigating structural complexity — program entry diagnostic, governance design, program recovery — where the risk is not yet visible in delivery metrics but the conditions for failure are already in place.
I bring a practitioner's understanding of transformation risk to board and committee level — governance oversight, technology risk assessment, and strategic contribution — particularly for organisations undertaking large-scale change.
