About me section iconAbout me

Alone, we can only accomplish so much. It's only when the best and brightest procurement minds collaborate, share, and listen that magic happens. To grow and thrive as leaders and professionals, we must form genuine partnerships built on honesty and integrity. That's why I take a people-first approach to everything I do. I'm optimistic and motivated by making a difference. I enjoy building rapport and making others feel comfortable and heard. From there, I uncover what both individuals and organisations want to achieve. Then comes the complex matchmaking process. I take great care in considering each interaction, always working to promote the interests of both parties and deliver genuine value to the procurement communities I serve. As a passionate connector, I enjoy bringing together procurement professionals and executives with valuable resources and opportunities. My goal is to empower individuals and procurement organisations to thrive. I achieve this through The Faculty's procurement leadership development programs, networking forums, and capability building initiatives that help individuals develop the skills they need to succeed in their procurement careers. Additionally, I head up The Source - a leading specialist Procurement recruitment agency. We are recruiting top procurement leaders and senior talent for organisations to help them grow and achieve their goals. Growing up with my family's small business taught me the importance of service, of living and working to uplift others. I've been fortunate to be a part of many people's success stories and have watched individuals, clients, and partners transcend what they thought was possible. Whether you're recruiting procurement leaders or specialists, seeking a new role, interested in leadership development and capability uplift programs for yourself or your team, or just want to share ideas, let's connect. You can reach me at [email protected] or on +61 422 141 941.

The Mentoring Program combines formal and informal connection and learning opportunities that propel participants toward the next chapter of their career journey. Capability Development and Technical Skills Training blends theoretical and practical exercises designed to enhance leadership and boost critical competencies.
