This may include shaping priorities, establishing the executive operating rhythm, preparing boards and key stakeholders, coordinating leadership teams and ensuring decisions translate into action.
The role flexes with the needs of the leader and the organisation: adviser, integrator, operator and accountable owner.

Bringing control and momentum to complex or business-critical change by establishing the governance, ownership and executive visibility required to keep transformation on course. I connect strategy with delivery, surface risk early and ensure interdependent teams and priorities remain aligned.
Experience includes acquisition, integration, organisational transformation, pre-listing, IPO and post-listing environments.
BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Designing and strengthening the structures through which a business operates, from decision forums, reporting and performance measures to governance, ways of working and organisational / team structure design.

Extensive experience with operating governance, business reviews, equity and share structures and corporate ownership. International experience in the mechanics that sit underneath a strategy, from corporate governance, business law, statutory reporting, regulatory compliance and board relations in pre-listing, IPO and post-listed environments.
LEADERSHIP & ORGANISATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
Helping develop leaders and teams to perform at their best, with a particular focus on clarity, cohesion and accountability.
