I am a project and strategic management consultant, university lecturer, and trainer with over 20 years of experience spanning engineering, manufacturing, IT, and software development. My expertise lies in large-scale project management, industrial engineering, and digital transformation, having led complex initiatives before establishing my consultancy business in 2014. Since then, I continued my commitment to project management, engaging in diverse ventures both locally and internationally. With over a decade of experience in training and coaching, I have collaborated with accredited training providers and universities, delivering programs across a wide range of management and technical disciplines.
I have also contributed to developing best practices in project management, including reviewing and evaluating PMI’s Body of Knowledge and certification programs and led two organisations to achieve authorised training partner status with PMI.
Holding a Master’s in Strategic Planning, a Master’s in Applied Project Management, and five professional credentials from PMI, my qualifications reflect my deep expertise in the field. I am also an active member of several prestigious professional bodies, including the Australian Institute of Company Directors, the International Centre of Complex Project Management, the Australian Institute of Project Management, the Complex Systems Society, IEEE, the System Dynamics Society, the American Society for Engineering Management, and the Project Management Institute (PMI), among others.
Currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Adelaide, my research focuses on complex project management and governance frameworks, exploring the application of systems thinking, complex systems governance, and management cybernetics in complex projects.
