I am a strategy execution specialist and a facilitator of organisational transformation.

I'm a client-centric, strategic and highly outcomes-driven business professional (B.Comm, MBA), experienced in establishing and leading programmes of work as well as directing operational practices and delivery in both corporates and smaller entrepreneurial environments.  An excellent relationship manager, leader and businesswoman with a sound track record of promises met and quality client engagement.  Available for strategy execution and transformative engagements.

Behind me are sixteen years’ experience in multi-faceted project- and program management, business analysis and management consulting, followed by over a decade establishing and managing a group of professional services businesses from inception.  I’m an active and meaningful contributor to strategy formulation, but thrive on – and am most effective in - strategy execution, directing complex initiatives with multiple streams of work.  In this regard, my strong interpersonal skills and ability to engage effectively with stakeholders at all levels, is a consistent advantage.  I’m highly adaptable and pragmatic in approach, and strongly solutions oriented, with excellent leadership, organising and interpersonal skills, accomplished in – and energised by - driving teams to deliver promised outcomes.  I enjoy complexity, work fast and efficiently, am able to see the big picture yet manage at detail level, and possess excellent business writing and written communication skills.

My Myers-Briggs profile identifies me as INFP-T (the diplomat; strategy of constant improvement), while my Thomas profile reveals high Dominance (goal orientation) and Influencer (interpersonal skills) aspects.

I love working with motivated and capable professionals, and am currently nurturing a new business, providing packaged small- to midsize consulting services as well as connecting individual freelance professionals to clients needing reliable specialist skills for ringfenced assignments, primarily in the field of project delivery and organisational/strategic transformation as well as organisational health and effectiveness.
