Strategic B2B Marketing Leader focused on profit, growth and commercial clarity
Summary
Experienced executive marketing leader with 20+ years in B2B, helping organisations strengthen their brand, sharpen their strategy and achieve sustainable, profitable growth. I specialise in strategic marketing programs, brand development and leading high-performing teams that deliver measurable results.
I’ve worked across multiple industries and recently led HVG’s national marketing campaigns, elevating brand visibility and commercial impact. As Board Co-Chair at IABC Victoria, I help shape strategic communication standards across the industry.
My leadership approach is grounded in clarity, trust and empowerment - developing teams, aligning stakeholders, and ensuring marketing drives real commercial outcomes. Skilled in marketing and digital strategy, PR, crisis communication and budget optimisation, I bring both strategic direction and hands-on execution to every organisation I support.
