Over two decades, I launched 17 businesses across industries—education, finance, construction, accountancy, law, marketing, IT, HR, and business consultancy.

One of those businesses scaled from the ground up to $30 million in turnover within just 24 months.

And then I liquidated it.

That experience taught me more about sustainable business than any success ever did. It showed me the cost of disconnection—from purpose, from sustainable systems, from what actually matters. I'd built something that looked impressive on paper but required ten versions of me to function.

I learned that scale without sustainability isn't success. It's a ticking time bomb.

That's why everything I do now is about building systems that breathe—governance structures that actually work, compliance frameworks that support growth (not strangle it), and learning experiences designed for real humans, not just regulatory checklists.

WHERE I THRIVE

For 30 years, I've worked in the education sector—specifically with Registered Training Organizations.

I've owned and managed multiple RTOs personally, so when I talk about what works and what doesn't, I'm speaking from lived experience—not theory.

I've authored thousands of online programs and created numerous Certificate I-IV and Diploma qualifications across my career. I know what makes learning experiences stick versus what gets abandoned halfway through.

Since 2023, I've helped 5 organisations successfully achieve RTO status—walking them through the full application process from scoping to registration.

I've supported 10 RTOs through compliance reviews and system implementation in the last 2-3 years—helping them prepare for audits, strengthen governance, and implement compliance structures into their software systems.

This isn't volume work. Each new RTO application is a major project. Each compliance review is intensive, high-stakes work. And I've done this consistently, across regulatory changes and organisational challenges, for three decades.
