I lead by example, inspiring people to work at their best in an inclusive, high performance culture that fosters world-class thinking and solutions.

From driverless metro trains in Italy to the world’s first driverless heavy-haul rail network in the Pilbara, all of these groundbreaking projects have been underpinned by astute planning, risk management, cost control, and the right structure and capabilities. I combine attention to detail and an intrinsic ability to anticipate and navigate potential roadblocks with a “nothing is impossible and everything is possible” mindset. AGILE, RESPONSIVE PROJECT LEADERSHIPAdept at managing complex programs of work and large cross-organisational and global teams, I look beyond the ‘nuts and bolts’ of best practice project management to focus on forging solid relationships with my clients, project partners and team. It’s a people-centric approach that ensures shared goals, clear communication and absolute trust provide the platform for true collaboration, and the confidence and capability to adapt and respond to the challenges inherent in cutting-edge technology projects.DEEP TECHNICAL EXPERTISEThroughout my career, sophisticated world-leading engineering solutions and technologies have been central to the projects I have managed. My in-depth knowledge of rail signalling systems and perpetual drive toward ‘the next’ enables me to expertly guide clients and teams to build, operate and maintain rail networks to the highest standards of safety, performance and sustainability.
