WORK HISTORY
Executive Director, Governance, Risk, Assurance and Ethics @Queensland Building And Construction Commission
Brisbane, AU
Senior executive leader with a proven record of strengthening governance, risk, and integrity frameworks to deliver organisational reform, resilience, and public confidence.At Queensland’s building industry regulator, I have led high-impact, enterprise-wide strategies that improve transparency, uplift risk maturity, and ensure operational readiness in a complex, highly scrutinised sector. Partnering directly with the Commissioner, Board, and Executive Leadership Team, I drive reform agendas that balance compliance, performance, and stakeholder trust.I bring deep capability in:• Governance reform – Co-designed and implemented the Commission’s Corporate Governance Framework, embedding clarity of roles, accountability, and decision-making rigour.• Enterprise risk leadership – Redeveloped Risk Appetite Statements and Strategic/Operational Risk Registers, leading staff and Board engagement to embed proactive risk culture.• Integrity and complaints management – Led a whole-of-agency review uncovering systemic issues, securing board endorsement and funding for reforms, and overseeing successful implementation.• Business continuity and crisis management – Strengthened frameworks, delivered organisation-wide simulations, and operationally led preparedness and activation for severe weather events including cyclones.I operate at the intersection of policy, governance, and operational delivery — bringing the strategic foresight, political acumen, and collaborative leadership required to navigate complex public sector environments. My focus is on building capability, embedding ethical practice, and delivering sustained organisational value for government and the communities we serve.
