Passionate about leading teams and strategies that transform businesses. I thrive on turning ambitious goals into measurable outcomes.

About Me

I'm a Project Management & Strategic Planning professional with over a decade of experience delivering transformation across industries. With an MBA in Project & Strategic Management (UTS, 2022), I'm recognised for reducing lead times, cutting costs, and mentoring diverse teams to achieve measurable results.

I'm now seeking opportunities in Project Management, PMO, and Strategic Operations, where I can bring leadership, planning, and delivery expertise to create lasting business value.

My Story

I started in software engineering, but quickly found my edge in aligning technology with business strategy. That shift led me to deliver ERP implementations and transformation projects across manufacturing, retail, utilities, and mining.

I've worked with BMW, Nokia, Accenture and others, growing fromConsultant to Project Manager while driving measurable outcomes-cutting lead times, reducing costs, and empowering teams. An MBA in Project & Strategic Management (UTS, 2022) sharpened my ability to turn strategy into results.

Outside work, I love cooking, travel, and continuous learning, always exploring new ideas, places, and how innovation reshapes industries.
