About

Professional experience: 20 years experience in leading large strategy projects and global teams. I am currently working as the Delivery Leader for Strategy and Transformation projects at Spark Strategy, a Melbourne-based firm focused on For-Purpose, Public and Health sectors. Before joining Spark, I was an Associate Director at EY, supporting EY’s Functional Transformation / Simplification program. Prior to this, I was the Health Sciences & Wellness Industry Market Leader in EY Knowledge, responsible for managing a team of analysts and delivery of bespoke research, analysis and consulting needs of our global health community. In an individual capacity, I worked with EY Health and Life Sciences sector leadership to develop forward-looking Thought Leadership and Point-of-Views. Prior to this, I led a large cross-sector team focused on providing support to EY’s top account teams on business development activities, pursuits and working on advisory engagements. As a part of this role, I was also an Offshore Engagement Manager for UK Trade & Investment (UK’s investment body) on Research & Analysis projects aimed at facilitating inward FDI in the UK. Earlier, as part of EY’s Firmwide Programs team, I was the lead author of the high-profile EY Attractiveness Surveys, based on a comparison on the perceived attractiveness for investment versus the reality of FDI, on Europe and Emerging Markets (India, Middle East, Africa and Kazakhstan).
