“I really enjoy the opportunity at Advent to partner with passionate founders and management teams to enhance and grow businesses across a range of industries. I feel very fortunate to be part of a highly collegiate and driven team at Advent – not all PE are the same, and I truly believe Advent differentiates through the quality of our relationships and collaboration with founders, management teams and advisors.”

I have been involved in mid-market private businesses for 20 years in advisory, senior management and investing capacities. I started my career at PwC gaining experience in the private clients, transaction services and M&A divisions before taking on a COO/CFO role at a growing national FMCG business.

Since joining Advent in 2013, I have been fortunate to be part of the deal teams on Gourmet Garden, Integral Diagnostics, Junior Adventures Group, Frosty Boy, Tribe Breweries, Compass Education, Medtech Global, Imaging Associates, Social Pinpoint and PEHA.

My undergraduate degree was a Bachelor of Commerce & Bachelor of Electrical & Electronic Engineering (Hons) from the University of Melbourne, I’m a qualified Chartered Accountant and graduate member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

Outside of work I am a passionate skier, enjoy running and travel, as well as spending time with friends and family, including spending most weekends shuttling (and enjoying watching!) my three kids participate in various sports and activities.
