I am the Legal representative on the Emergency Management team; a team prepared to deal with emergencies such as data breach incidents, network outages, cyber incidents, and other high-risk incidents. I also sit on the Compliance Committee, responsible for developing key compliance policies including Modern Slavery and Whistleblowing policies. TPG Telecom has provided me with extensive management and leadership experience. I believe in organic growth and foster a support and collaborative environment that provides development opportunities to the team and more broadly across our business and the legal industry. I lead by example and encourage values of integrity, transparency, and empowerment. “Leadership is not a position or title; it's action and example” – Cory Booker. In addition to my extensive technology/telecommunications and corporate/commercial experience at TPG Telecom, I have held positions in leading national and international top tier law firms including Corrs Chambers Westgarth, Coudert Brothers LL, Clayton Utz and Norton Rose Fulbright. Outside the office, I am a mother to two wonderful kids. As a family we love the active and adventurous side of living; from watching and playing tennis to hiking, skiing and scuba diving.
