I am a generalist. The person who takes valuable knowledge developed by specialists and gives it meaning and context in the day to day world. I’m the person who can see how the breakthrough, the new idea, can deliver value and practical outcomes outside of its specialist birthplace. It’s the reason why my career has spanned so many different sectors – market research, retail, property and real estate, local government, the wine industry, tourism, the arts and the environment. I am interested in everything, and in finding ways to apply new thinking to deliver results. My skills are very applicable to: • Boards that need to take a wider view of the world • Not-for-profits having difficulty seeing the forest for the trees or need guidance establishing governance frameworks • Companies that have a roadblock and need help to find a way through Always open to opportunities where I can help broaden the discussion, think out of the square, generate growth, explore the possibilities. Not only have I helped others deliver successful outcomes, I’ve applied the same skills to developing my own business – GLAMWRAP Merino. Started from an idea, in a field where I had little experience, but where those generalist skills enabled me to see the opportunity and capitalise on it. I love to help, to connect people, plant ideas. I am an experienced mentor and facilitator and take great pleasure in this aspect of my working life.
