Head of Product Operations @ T2 Tea

About

I have been fortunate throughout my career to have impacted both best-in-class Australian businesses as well as international businesses. Samples of the notable highlights throughout my career are: ● Catalysed organisation-wide transformation in one of Australia's largest Convenience chain operator where I was endowed with momentous trust and responsibility in leading the end-to-end implementation of the Supply Chain Transformation program covering $1 billion in merchandise spend. ● An abundance of far-reaching tangible results, such as innovative approaches that led to significant efficiency gains, as a direct result of my due diligence and calibre of my relationship-building. These multi-pronged rollouts were characterised by adherence to best-practice methodologies (Design thinking, Agile methodology, Proven Procurement frameworks, Project Management, Change Management, Continuous Improvement cycles et al.) along with a unique capacity to make leadership pragmatic and informed by tangible data-driven insights. ● Well regarded by leadership to seamlessly drive change and technology management and draw data-driven insights that can be operationalised organisation-wide.
