Innovation that delivers results - not theatre

I help organisations turn emerging tech and strategic innovation into measurable results – faster approvals and higher margins.

With 15+ years transforming ideas into commercial impact for world-class brands across retail, infrastructure and the built environment, I know what separates innovation theatre from genuine value. Whether you need AI capability at scale, a fractional innovation leader or keynotes that spark real action, I focus on what actually works.

WHY ORGANISERS Choose me

No theatre, just impact

I've sat through enough innovation workshops that produce nothing but Post-its. My approach focuses on commercial outcomes from day one.

A bridge between worlds

I translate between engineers and executives, startups and enterprises, AI possibilities and practical realities. Complex ideas, simple language.

Speed without sacrifice

My sprints deliver in weeks what consultancies stretch to quarters. Rigorous thinking, rapid execution, real results.

About me

I've helped retailers reimagine stores, engineers unlock billions in savings, and executives embrace AI without the anxiety. My superpower is making innovation accessible to everyone - from board directors to frontline teams.

After founding two successful businesses, developing an innovation culture program at a global engineering firm, and advising one of Australia's largest construction projects, I've learned that the best innovations aren't always the boldest. They're the ones that actually get implemented.
