About

I started as a journalist. The instinct to stay curious. To get outside the bubble. I've sat on both sides of the table. Advising ministers and CEOs. Working with listed, local and overseas-headquartered businesses. Inside government agencies, local council and with Lord Mayor Clover Moore. Running corporate affairs across energy, transport and financial services. As a Partner at Fitzpatrick & Co Advisory, I led political advocacy and stakeholder campaigns across Australia's energy transition. I've worked through the crises that test institutions — bushfires, the Banking Royal Commission. The moments where the gap between what you say and what you do becomes very visible, very fast. That full circuit — policy, politics, industry, community — is what I bring to every conversation about transport electrification. Now I lead the Electric Vehicle Council, Australia's national peak body for the EV industry. My job is to translate a fast-moving industry into decisions that governments, businesses and households can actually act on. Building social licence. Influencing regulatory outcomes. Making the case in language that connects with voters, not just industry. I love helping CEOs and corporate affairs/policy leaders use AI as a strategic tool. Not a technology project. A leadership edge. - If your organisation has a stake in Australia's energy or transport future: reach out about EVC membership. - If you're a CEO or corporate affairs leader thinking seriously about AI adoption: let's talk.
