MY EXPERIENCE

Principal Strategist

Since 2014 

I specialise in arenas where companies, organisations or people need some help from the 'outside'. I fill 'gaps' in an organization that exist in a particular discipline, experience level, or accumulated knowledge base. Organisations can speed up decision-making, time to market, or cost reductions with proven solutions. The highest level of experience, personal network and know-how, applied to your toughest challenges, for just the right amount of time. Combining the best from the inside with the brightest from the outside. I use my multiple skills to consult, advise and drive problem-solving for organisations.This “multiplier-effect” cannot be duplicated internally without significant addition to headcount and expense. I help connect strategy, social impact and value to your business value for markets and investors through improved business behaviour. I apply this knowledge and effort voluntarily to Currie Country a family cousin consortium business model, which demonstrates how to create local and regional economies, through social value for the S/M business owners and the broader community.

EDUCATION

What I’ve Learned - 'to inspire you must do'

Griffith University QLD

Doctorate PhD Scholar 'Race and Investment'

The purpose of the study is to determine how implicit race bias affect investment decision-making with an aim of emboldening behavioural economic decision making with a method that protects or prevents reactionary racial bias. The focus is on determining how Australian actors’  implicit attitudes, motives and strategies influence their principles, and skills and commitment to CSR moral and ethical requirements when making investment decisions that have social value on Aboriginals wellbeing. This study explores the behavioural economics functions of CSR, social impact investing (SII), social return on investment (SROI) and Venture Philanthropy (VP), and social impact bonds (SIB).
