Who I work with

Public and private health services · Primary Health Networks and Local Health Districts · government health and workforce bodies · tertiary and research institutes · and the health-technology companies and vendors building for them.

What I do

01 Strategy into delivery

Turn a board-endorsed strategy into a sequenced, governed portfolio. A roadmap built from a standing start, prioritisation that weighs value against capacity and dependencies, governance forums that make real decisions, and reporting an executive team can act on.

02 Programme turnaround & recovery

Step into a programme that has stalled and put the mechanisms in place to turn it around. Rebuild the plan, the governance and the stakeholder coalition that move it forward and keep it there. Get more from less. Leave the team more capable than I found it. I work with program and delivery leaders to strengthen decision-making, stakeholder leadership and delivery discipline — not simply repair the plan.

03 AI assurance & governance

Assess how an AI system is governed, and design the accountability model to deploy it safely. Grounded in a Master of Research on how assurance frameworks are applied to medical devices, and in hands-on deployment of AI-enabled platforms into hospital and research settings. Health first; the same accountability gap runs through government, regulators and research.

04 Interim delivery leadership

Hold a portfolio, PMO or transformation-lead seat for a defined period. Deliver against the plan, build the delivery capability of the people around me, and hand over an operation that runs without me. I take accountable ownership while developing the people around me, creating clear roles, stronger leadership capability and a confident handover.

How I lead

Leadership that leaves capability behind.

I do more than establish plans, governance and reporting — I build clarity, confidence and shared ownership with the teams I work alongside. I listen carefully, but I am also prepared to provide direction, address difficult issues and take accountable ownership when the work requires it.

Through practical mentoring, coaching and knowledge transfer, I leave teams better equipped to lead the work after my engagement ends.

A strategy that won't move, a programme that's stuck, an AI system you're not sure how to govern — I would like to hear about it.
