About

I am the General Manager at Labiotech.

Born and raised in Western Australia, I earned undergraduate degrees in International Studies and Social Science at the University of South Australia before leaving for Europe to complete my postgraduate studies. My doctoral research was focused on the nexus of complexity theory, chaos theory, and international relations theory, and I earned my Ph.D. in 2010.

After some years as a professor and tertiary education administrator, I left academia to join a small technology startup and lead their content creation team. I would later work for a deep tech scale-up company, where I would be promoted quickly from thought leadership manager to company Vice President for Marketing. I left that company to launch my own consultancy in 2019, and I have been working independently since.

Beginning 2023 I covered selected biopharma partnering conferences and events for Labiotech, began hosting the Beyond Biotech podcast in March 2025, was appointed Director Editorial in July 2025, and General Manager in January 2026.
