Leadership experience

Director, People Systems and Technology

The Royal Melbourne Hospital | April 2022–present

Reporting to the Chief People Officer, I lead people-systems strategy and delivery through a team of nine, including two direct-report managers. My remit covers enterprise platforms supporting 12,000 employees across two legal entities.

I own the technology roadmap, investment priorities, budgets, vendor relationships and service governance, working across People & Culture, IT, Payroll and Business Intelligence. My approach combines frontline healthcare and people leadership with enterprise technology ownership.


Selected transformation outcomes

An integrated employee lifecycle

Led SAP SuccessFactors from business case through implementation and ongoing ownership. Connected workforce data with Payroll, Business Intelligence, Active Directory and third-party systems, enabling employee and manager self-service and more reliable workforce information.

A shared service across organisations

Expanded SuccessFactors to a second legal entity, creating common data, workflows and governance across both organisations. Established tiered support and service levels to enable consistent, scalable delivery.

Learning and compliance at scale

Delivered an enterprise LMS replacement on time and under budget for 11,000 employees. Automated mandatory training assignment by role and location, reducing administration and supporting ongoing compliance and recertification.

Secured executive support for a centralised learning-record initiative across four hospitals, designed to reduce repeated training and release staff time for core responsibilities.
