I do that by leveraging my extensive expertise to provide oversight, foresight, and valuable insights that accelerate the execution and commercialisation of innovations in various markets across ANZ and Asia Pacific and by using my negotiation experience to deliver winning outcomes in various business and sector situations such as deals, partnerships and conflicts. ● Board-level highlights include board/advisory board roles with AgriGate, G100, CSIRO and various Victorian Government boards. In an executive capacity, I can evidence deep expertise and vast experience in accelerating and commercialising innovation models, building collaborative innovation cultures, innovations to market in sectors such as food and agribusiness. ● Finally, I have a Bachelor of Science (Honours), and a Doctor of Philosophy and have Graduated from the AICD’s Company Directors Course.
