Achievements I'm proud of
​
  • Recently, I successfully did not buy new clothes for 15 months and have rallied for others to undertake this challenge as their 2018 new year's resolution.​
  • ​In my most recent corporate role, played a major part in the business management system achieving triple-certification to ISO 14001, ISO 9001 and AS/NZS 4801 within a very short timeframe (14 months) despite the amalgamation of three separate entities under a new Alliance contract for a water company, working with a new team, in a fluid business environment with conflicting drivers for success.
  • In the role previous to that, I led a program that reduced total factory site waste to landfill tonnage by 26% in the 2011 calendar year compared to the previous calendar year without any capital investment.
  • In the role previous to the one above,  I led the development of the ‘Ten Principles of a Sustainable Water City’ with our Community Liaison Committee that the business has since adopted within their current Healthy Urban Habitat Strategy.
