Olympian | Director

High-performance environments have shaped my career for more than two decades. First as an athlete representing Australia. Now as a leader representing the institutions I serve and building the systems that enable others to thrive.

Throughout that journey, one question has guided my work: how do we build environments where capability can thrive at scale?

I represented Australia at the Torino 2006 Winter Olympic Games in short track speed skating before transitioning to track cycling, earning a medal at the 2008 Commonwealth Games. Elite sport taught me resilience and discipline. It also taught me that performance is never a solo act. Behind every visible result sits a team, a system and a set of standards that make success repeatable.

After retiring from competition, I shifted my focus from personal performance to system performance.

Today, I work with government, universities, international federations, non-profit organisations and emerging enterprises, applying high-performance principles to strategy, innovation and cross-sector integration. My work sits at the intersection of sport, technology and leadership, strengthening collaboration, integrating digital capability and expanding access.

As Director of Sport at Queensland University of Technology, I lead long-term strategy connecting sport with digital transformation and emerging technologies. I lead a team delivering nationally recognised esports and virtual sport programs that stand independently while contributing meaningfully to the broader sporting ecosystem, expanding skills, engagement and participation pathways. I also work across disciplines to align sport with research, innovation and engagement priorities, particularly where strong partnerships can unlock greater impact.

Beyond the university context, I advise governments and international sport bodies on innovation strategy and international cooperation. I support non-profit organisations advancing social impact through sport and provide pro bono guidance to small and medium enterprises navigating growth and innovation challenges. I believe sport, when designed intentionally, can influence education, wellbeing, diplomacy and economic development.

I have been recognised among Australia’s Top 100 Innovators in Sports Technology. I also serve as a global awards judge and international sport delegate, contributing to strategic conversations shaping the future of sport and performance.

Across all roles, I bring an elite mindset grounded in integrity, good governance and collaboration.

I build systems that enable others to perform at their best. My work is driven by a commitment to designing environments where capability is sustainable, inclusive and scalable.
