I get the right players in sync so you get the work over the line
Who are you?
What I do
-
Make it rain
Proposals, cases and narratives that unlock funding and get people to yes
e.g. Tenders, grants, NPPs, investment pitches, panel applications like SCM1191
-
Happy investors
Clarity and confidence for funders - reduce risk, and maximise impact
e.g. Capital planning, project pipelines, performance frameworks, funding strategy
-
Humming delivery
Equip your delivery team to operate at pace, with clarity and confidence
e.g. Implementation frameworks, risk management, delivery processes, governance
-
Social license
Earn trust, defuse resistance, and keep projects moving
e.g. Community profiling, First Nations partnerships, conflict-sensitive strategy
Move / shake
Not every job runs in a straight line. I thrive on the other kind — high-stakes, half-written, politically sensitive and lots of moving parts.
My strength is finding the angle that gets everyone on board, from ministers to investors, to the people most affected. I know when to push, when to reframe, and how to build momentum without burning bridges.
I speak fluent construction, government and community, and I’m here to get things unstuck, funded and delivered.
