I am an experienced Exec Consulting Partner who has left the professional consulting world and am currently studying innovation ecosystems built on platform models to optimise social, natural and economic capital. Exponential Organisations are my current passion. I am exploring this space though both commercial and volunteer partnerships. As part of the exploration, I have joined the board of the Yarra Riverkeeper Association where I also head up the Membership and Community Engagement sub-committee. I have worked on developing the new 3-5 year strategy with the board, and am now working on implementing the community engagement component of this strategy through a digital reinvention. I have also joined the board of the Royal Botanic Gardens Foundation Victoria as we embark on a period of transformation to a customer centric approach in the way we engage the community who support the Royal Botanic Garden Melbourne, and Royal Botanic Garden Cranbourne. I am engaged with Ichpig, a underground, designed and manufactured in Melbourne, underground streetwear brand to assist in their continuing digital evolution and to scale their front and back office leveraging digital marketing and analytics capabilities. I am also part of The Romantics, a collective of polymaths who work on wicked problems that require multi-disciplinary teams who look at problems from multiple perpectives. I collaborate extensively with The Common Purpose Collective, a leading impact marketing organisation that partners with ASX200 companies to drive forward the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
