Strategic Help for Impact, Focus & Transformation.
COLLABORATIVE & STRATEGIC CONSULTING
Tailored for you.
From the wicked to the everyday, many challenges benefit from a fresh, independent perspective. I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I help organisations make sense of what’s in front of them and work through it with clarity and purpose.
I support organisations to strengthen strategy, improve governance and culture, clarify identity and purpose, plan and deliver projects, engage meaningfully with communities, and navigate government advocacy, consultation, and co-design. My role is to enhance and improve—not take over—so leaders can move forward with confidence and connection.

FROM CEO TO STRATEGIC PARTNER
After years working in the for-purpose sector and leading a mental health organisation as CEO, I decided it was time for a new chapter, one where I could work alongside more leaders and organisations, to navigate change, lead with purpose, and build stronger systems from the inside out. The shift from CEO to consultant wasn’t about slowing down—it was about narrowing the focus. I’ve always been drawn to the strategy side of leadership, making sense of complexity, connecting the dots, and creating the conditions for people to do their best work. Now, I get to do exactly that, partnering with organisations and teams who are ready to think differently, act with intention and lead with clarity and purpose.
Who we work alongside
ARE WE THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU?
SHIFTwise works with boards, executive and senior leadership teams, government departments, and for-purpose and community organisations. I partner with leaders who are navigating complexity, seeking clarity, and committed to leading with purpose—whether you’re shaping strategy, driving reform, or building stronger, more connected teams.
If you’re unsure whether this is the right fit for your organisation or your current challenges, I encourage you to reach out. I’m always happy to have a conversation and explore how we might work together.
WHERE STRATEGIC THINKING MEETS PRACTICAL ACTION
The SHIFTwise Approach.
What sets my approach apart is the ability to see the bigger picture without losing sight of the detail. I bring a unique mix of strategic insight, sector experience, and systems thinking that helps me understand how people, processes, and external forces interact.
No organisation or leader operates in isolation. I take the time to understand the broader environment, identifying where the opportunities are, what’s getting in the way, and how to turn insight into practical, implementable solutions. While I’m comfortable identifying challenges and their root causes, my instinct is always to focus on what’s possible and work with you to create tangible action.
Professional Track Record.
Building a connected, values-led leadership team and organisation.
I shaped a collaborative, purpose-driven culture grounded in integrity and a genuine commitment to people. This created the foundation for an organisation that could lead with clarity, cohesion, and confidence. Just as importantly, we put the right structures in place to support that culture—clear processes, strong data, and thoughtful strategy that enabled people to work together effectively and stay focused on what matters.
Raising health as a priority across government, communities, and individuals.
I led sustained campaigns that challenged the status quo and championed measurable outcomes - driving media and community engagement, influencing decision-makers, and delivering system-level improvements in how health is understood and prioritised. Grounded in policy, systems, and data, my work is driven by a belief in achieving better outcomes for individuals, communities, and organisations.
Leading with
strategy
I build strong partnerships, inspire people to excel, and create the structure and clarity essential for progress. I’m recognised for shaping both long- and short-term strategies—mapping the course ahead, setting measurable goals and targets, and articulating exactly how they will be achieved. I don’t turn away from complexity; I lean into it, knowing that the right shifts - not just any shifts - are what create lasting impact.
