With over 15 years working inside asset-intensive operations across manufacturing, maritime, defence, resources, agribusiness and ports, I provide transformation, operations advisory, asset management and engineering services. B Eng (Hons) and MBA.
My background spans hands-on engineering and large-scale operational transformation. I have redesigned engineering and maintenance operating models for workforces exceeding 4,000 people, identified over $50M in savings across a $700M vessel maintenance program, delivered asset data remediation that reduced working capital by $2M, and reported directly to COOs on independent technical and risk reviews. The thread through all of it is the same: close the gap between what an operation should be delivering and what it actually is.
The organisations that perform best are not just well-run. They are well-connected. People understand why their assets matter, not just how to operate them. Purpose, people, assets and systems are all pulling in the same direction. That only happens when operations, maintenance, asset management and strategy are the same conversation, not separate ones.
I have spent my career sitting between two worlds. As an engineer, I would design the perfect solution, only to see it fail when it met real people, real budgets, and real timelines. As a management consultant, I learned to work with those constraints, but sometimes lost sight of what was technically possible and practically sound. StratEx exists in that middle ground.
