Join us at CFO Edge, Australia’s premier finance conference

I am a Partner at McKinsey & Company based in Sydney, where much of my work is oriented around helping organisations on strategy, AI and transformation. I am leader in our analytics practice and QuantumBlack Australia (QuantumBlack is an analytics consulting firm acquired by McKinsey). My QB teams work with organisations on issues related to advanced analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

I also have a passion for public sector, where I serve organisations on strategy, organisation and transformation topics.

Before joining McKinsey I studied for a PhD in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Prior to this my background was in theoretical physics.

I help people adapt to change — and help businesses see it coming. Through writing, speaking and foresight reports, I turn emerging signals into clear, actionable insights for today.

My hope is to inspire leaders at all levels to be ready for change and not reactive—through simple tactics, small habits, and powerful stories that remind us of how much change we are truly capable of.

For the past decade, I have worked with forward-thinking organisations delivering leadership programs that help build the personal agency of their people and adaptability at scale — including Rio Tinto, Austrade, NBN & Atlassian.

I value unconventional thinking, challenging outdated beliefs, and always asking, ‘What’s possible’.

My first book, Future Fit (2019), was awarded Australian Business Book of the Year and was a finalist at the 2020 UK Business Book Awards. Prior to my move into building capability in leaders, I was based in Washington, D.C., covering breaking news for major media outlets. I also worked across human rights, helping to generate grants to rebuild Iraq, Afghanistan, Jordan, & Georgia with funding from USAID & the US State Department.
