Professional Experience: |
With the community housing sector and government organisations at large undergoing significant change and a shift towards more customer-centric ways of working, I help organisations to adapt by uniting stakeholders around cultural and operational transformation as the bedrock of sustainable growth.
International exposure to global best practices and diverse experience has elevated my ability to lead successful change, providing me with insight into political influences, market forces and best in class operations, enabling me to pioneer new ways of working. Driven to address pain points, I have shown my ability to establish new industry standards centred on customer service excellence. Core to my approach is an ability to cultivate high-performance cultures. Taking a grassroots approach to cultural transformation, I identify and develop key talent, creating the future leaders critical to sustaining organisational success long into the future.
As COO of Link Housing, for example, I set a new industry benchmark through the development and execution of a first-of-a-kind customer-centred strategy in the industry, transforming the organisation into a partner of choice and ultimately influencing housing policy changes in North America, UK and Europe.
