About me
I research and consult for projects and programs of various scales and complexity funded by industry and government across the resource, defence, government sectors, and NGOs in Australia and overseas. I have experience as a Program Manager and Project Manager of large-scale public-private initiatives.
I have a diverse applied research portfolio. My research spans complex project management, value chain and process optimisation, supply chain resilience, and regional capability ecosystems.
My research expertise combines business and engineering network analysis, Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), and qualitative research methods. I have also developed software tools, frameworks, and associated business processes to solve complex problems and assist decision-makers in industry and government.
I am a Member of the Project Management Institute (PMI), the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM), the Australian and New Zealand Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (ANZ CIPS), and European Operations and Management (EUROMA). I am an Affiliate Member of the Centre for Enterprise Dynamics in Global Economies (C-EDGE) UniSA and a Sustainable Infrastructure and Resources Management Research Concentration member. I hold an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow position at The University of Adelaide.
I hold PhDs in Project Management, Mining Engineering, and Hons Systems and Mechanical Engineering.
