Bio
Karyn Gould
Fiona is dynamic and engaging. She is able to utilise her commercial business experience in general management, strategy development and execution, as well as marketing and branding, to identify the value a business, team or project could offer, then put a plan into place for delivery. She is bold in her willingness to try new things, create challenges and critically address the status quo. Whether working one-on-one or with groups, she has an ability to create rapport and traction. She understands that people are a significant resource and a competitive edge for any team or organisation, and looks for ways to leverage talent and potential.
