About

As CEO of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Organising Committee I am responsible for leading all aspects of organising the Games to create an outstanding experience for the athletes and spectators and leave a positive legacy for Brisbane, Southeast Queensland, and Australia. My responsibilities include Games planning; raising revenue through sponsorship, philanthropy, ticketing and merchandise; managing the operation of the venues; event security; volunteer recruitment and much more. I have 35 years of global leadership experience across three continents with Deloitte, including over seven years as a CEO. In 2018, I was elected the inaugural Deloitte Asia Pacific CEO leading 68,000 professionals across 19 geographies. In this role, I delivered Deloitte’s ‘Tilt to Asia’ strategy recognizing the economic strength of Asia and the growth opportunity in the region. Under my leadership the business in AP grew 50% (to US$8.5B). I served as CEO of Deloitte Australia from driving a 15% CAGR in revenue during my tenure. My leadership is founded on a commitment to diversity & inclusion and health & wellbeing as business imperatives. I have been recognized for accelerating the pace of change in these areas. I was previously a special advisor to Champions of Change, a coalition of Australian leaders furthering gender equality, and a board member and treasurer of Chief Executive Women (Australia), a non-profit advocating diversity and women leaders. I was also a founding member of the Asia Corporate Leadership Council, a group of business leaders who have come together to advance thinking on corporate purpose to positively influence business practice and policy. I am privileged to serve on the board of the Great Barrier Reef Foundation (GBRF) and as Chair of the independent GBRF USA. GBRF is a world leading organization enabling research to safeguard the Great Barrier Reef and coral reefs around the world from the impacts of climate change. I previously served as a board and audit committee member of the Economic Development Board of Singapore, a government agency tasked with establishing Singapore as a global center for business, innovation and talent. I have enjoyed living and working in locations around the world, including Australia, Singapore and the United States. In my free time I enjoy the outdoors, snow skiing, wake surfing, water skiing, hiking, global travel, and keeping active with my husband, Chris. I am the proud Mom to two awesome young men, Bryan and Justin.
