Experience
I have been a senior manager and an accounting and finance practitioner in private practice and in the commercial sector for over 30 years. I have worked in Australia and overseas in the United Kingdom in the investment banking, publishing, engineering, construction, transport, public housing, education services, health services and the not for profit industries.
I have spent equal portions of my career working in or consulting to the private sector (large and small corporations) and the public sector (through both state and local government). I also have over 20 years of senior management experience. I currently run a boutique private management consulting firm which specializes in providing financial and business transformation services and advice to the not for profit and for purpose sectors.
I also have extensive corporate governance experience and I have served as a Director and Executive Treasurer on the Boards of Queensland Churches Together and the Scripture Union Queensland for the last five years. In addition, I am a member of the Finance & Audit Committees for these organizations.
