I’ve spent the last 15 years inside some of the most high-stakes conversations on the planet from presidential campaigns to pandemic response, from global startups to grassroots communities, from boardrooms to outback town halls.

My work has taken me across North America, Trinidad and Tobago, Australia, and beyond, leading movements, building cultures and turning dialogue into real, lasting change.

The start of my career was working to elect Barack Obama in 2008. In 2017, I ran the successful marriage equality campaign in Western Australia, flipping it from polling last to one of the highest yes votes in the country. In between campaigns I’ve worked in Silicon Valley, on two major infrastructure projects and a virtual human rights museum.

Most recently, I co-founded a business called Acknowledge This! With Rhys Paddick, we trained over 30,000 people across Australia on how to lead with authenticity, listen deeply and have the kinds of conversations that actually shift culture.

Along the way, I’ve coached executives and Premiers, designed culture strategies for government and industry and delivered keynotes across sectors. What I’ve seen everywhere, from Indigenous communities to multinational corporations, is this: culture lives in conversation. Not in posters. Not in policies. But in the way we talk to each other, especially when it’s difficult to discuss.

I bring a systems lens, a campaigner’s urgency and a deep belief in humanity. I don’t do fluff, I prefer to get into the real and raw discussions. I help teams get unstuck, organisations get honest and leaders step into curiosity over control. If you want to build a culture that’s not just stated but practiced, I’m here to help!
