I have proven experience leading businesses through significant transformation and growth across all aspects of the operations including business strategy and development, digital and marketing strategies, team and customer focus and delivering best in category performance. At board level highlights include: Non-Executive Director of GoGet contributing to growing market share and expanding the fleet network, and experience as a Board Member and Advisor with the Tenpin Bowling Association. In an executive capacity highlights include: Chief Experience Officer with the Ardent Leisure Group overseeing both Main Event in the USA and Theme Parks in Australia. As part of this role, I developed a new business opportunity to be rolled out in the USA. This included branding and positioning, venue design and layout and pro forma modelling.

As the Chief Executive Officer of Bras N Things, profit and market share was increased through repositioning the brand, significant restructuring of operations and the expansion of new brands into online and retail stores. I was the General Manager of Angus and Coote as well as Goldmark where I worked closely with the board to increase national sales and profit.
