About me
I am the Business Development Manager for the Division of ITEE (Information Technology, Engineering and the Environment) at the University of South Australia (UniSA). I have been working more than 10 years in two Universities. My role is to negotiate, build and maintain research collaborations with the private and public sectors. I am also leading the Research and Consulting Business administration portfolio of the Division of ITEE which includes tracking project milestones, mitigating business risks, and negotiating commercial contracts.
My core strength is the ability to develop different frameworks of engagement and trust between stakeholders, across short and long term collaborations.
Prior to joining the university sector, I have been working 18 months in Africa as a consultant in agro-commercial projects (feasibility study of the collect and transformation of avocados - Burundi, production and export of flowers and foliage - Cameroon, and use of indigenous medicinal plants for the local community - South Africa).
Finally I spent 4 years leading a French Institute (Alliance Française - NGO) in Queensland comprising 200 members, 190 student enrolments per year and 8 staff.
