SERVICES
Running a social enterprise means balancing purpose and profit, often with less time and resource than the job really demands. Whether you're working through a strategic challenge, stabilising operations or planning your next stage of growth, I bring practical, hands-on support grounded in real sector experience.
Integrating social impact into your business is the right thing to do. But it's more complex than it appears, and getting it wrong is costly. I work with procurement teams, social impact leads and ESG managers to make that work practical, credible and effective. I understand both the corporate and social sector worlds, which means I can bridge the gap between good intentions and real outcomes.
Government teams working on social procurement or community and economic development are stretched, and the accountability pressures are real. Having worked inside state government, I understand the bureaucracy, the compliance requirements and the need to demonstrate value for public money. I also bring deep social sector expertise — so you get someone who understands both sides and can hit the ground running.
When you're investing in creating change, getting it right matters enormously. I help philanthropists and funders design grant programs that deliver, make confident funding decisions, and support the organisations they fund to succeed. Having worked on both sides of the grant process, I know what good looks like, and I know how to spot when it doesn't.
If you're a creative practitioner feeling overwhelmed by the business side of things, whether it's finances, operations or strategy, I can help you sort it out. As a creative myself, I understand the tension between your practice and the business stuff. That way you can focus on what you do best: creating.
Sometimes the best thinking happens when you're not sitting at a desk. If you've got a business or impact challenge to work through and you're open to doing things a little differently, I offer free Walk and Talk sessions in the Dandenong Ranges, just an hour from Melbourne. We walk, we talk, and you leave with clarity and a fresh perspective.
