About

I’m really passionate about delivering outcomes in healthcare.

I have been fortunate to work across the healthcare sector in a range of clinical, commercial and leadership roles. I love the challenge of solving a complex problem, creating a winning strategy ( a plan) and working with others to deliver value (results / clinical outcomes).

I founded Core Connect Group (CCG) in 2016 to bring together a team of experienced healthcare executives. We aimed to provide clients with flexible access to specific “core competencies” that we felt were needed to solve the operational challenges within the Australian healthcare sector.

To give back to the sector and to help progress Australia’s interest, I currently Co-Chair the IoTAA Health Workstream.
