With an Honours degree in Applied Economics I have been working in regulation and competition for over 10 years. As corporate and regulatory affairs specialist I have spent the majority of my career in regulated sectors. I currently work as Corporate Strategy Consultant and focus on issues facing the telecoms, health and post services. I've consulted in a number of different countries, spending significant time across Asia and the Middle East.


Early in my career I worked in Government as an Economist with the EPA, influencing the public policy and regulatory regime to better manage fisheries, air pollution, waste, water and  conservation. I later moved to SingTel and became a Senior Advisor in their Corporate and Regulatory Affairs department, supporting the business through a period of unrivalled change with the creation of the Australian NBN.

After graduating from a Physics Engineering degree I started my career as a software engineer where I developed web applications, mainly programs with a CRM focus. After gaining experience at a number of SMEs I applied these skills at a large national bank (18 million customers), working as an internal consultant to develop a CRM solution as a part of their  'Customer Centric Transformation Programme'. 

2 years later I moved across into consulting in the Istanbul branch of a leading multinational professional services firm. I was involved in issues related to IT/Telcoms Strategy, IT Assessment and Process Optimisation. I also took on more strategic analysis, supporting projects related to customer profitability, sales channel strategy and regulatory modelling. 

After almost 3 years with the Istanbul practice I moved across to the UK to accept a role in the company's London Headquarters. My current focus is Telecoms and Technology Strategy.

Holding a Master of Science in Telecommunications and Business Management, I started my career as a management consultant (for 1 year). Then I joined a leading international telecom operator, for which I worked for over 6 years. I am now providing strategic consulting services to international clients in the field of Telecoms, Media & Technology. 

Overall, I have developed extensive expertise in Innovation, Corporate Strategy and Marketing in Europe and Emerging markets.

As a curious individual, I enjoy spending hours debating about business and politics, but also discussing about foreign countries and exotic travels.
