As the Founder of Foccus Group, a fully serviced global recruitment agency, that’s flipped the script on traditional recruitment practises, and Managing Partner of Enamus, a global branding and digital agency that gets people talking about your brand, there’s a reason why I say ‘Brand
and talent is my forte.’
With years of experience revolutionising the B2B world, I see growth avenues and marketing channels that others simply don’t. I identify business and strategic partnerships that other’s would never have dreamed of. I pull back the curtain and unveil ideas that really give your business the boost it needs. Simply put, I don’t just promise business growth, I make it happen.
As a self-made entrepreneur, I know just what’s required to take an idea and turn it into a profitable, marketable and successful reality. And it’s this mentality that’s led to my appointment as an advisor for several startups in the Fintech, Proptech and SaaS industries, helping each one catalyse growth and scale to immeasurable heights.
I’ve got an eye for brands and helping companies find their voice, to build a presence online and connect with their target audience, is my specialty.
I want to inspire others to realise the impossible is possible. And as a Brand Ambassador for Women in Tech, a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing more opportunities for women and girls in the tech industry, I’m proud to be able to lead the way and help put an end to the gender gap for good.
I’m also the host of Startups and Unicorns, a monthly podcast that unpacks just what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur, featuring some of the industry’s most influential people, and have climbed the Apple Podcast charts to sit as high as second in the Entrepreneurship & Business category in Australia.
Passion, branding, talent and tech. Get in touch today and let me help your company reach its marketing goals, scale and grow to immeasurable heights and achieve its limitless potential.
Roles
With over a decade of experience in recruiting, branding, marketing and tech, it’s fair to say I know a thing or two when it comes to the B2B landscape.
MANAGING DIRECTOR
As the Managing Director of Foccus Group, a fully serviced global recruitment agency that specialises in the digital realm, you might say that we’ve flipped the script on outdated recruitment practises.
We don’t just wait for talent to come to us, no, we hunt for it. We strive to find the best
professionals out there, ready and waiting to use their expertise to make a difference.
Together, with the power of video and social media, we work closely with talent and employers to ensure we find the best people for each and every role that lands on our desks.
This is the new norm of recruitment and while everyone else is playing catch up, we’re busy leading the way in digital recruitment.

Think of BizPay as the AfterPay for businesses. Our technology platform solves cash flow issues,
reduces costs and increases sales by allowing your clients to pay just a quarter of the invoice value at the end of each month, interest free! Without having to consider cash flow at every turn, we help you attract new clients, that may otherwise be deterred by bulky upfront costs, and eliminate that going it alone mentality by
making hiring professional services affordable.
As an Advisory Board Member, I sit amongst a host of experienced professionals who, like myself, are passionate about company growth, especially when it comes to technology that helps redefine the entire business payment model.
Advisory Board Member
Whether you’re a pet lover, looking for a play date for your fur baby or just want to get paid for pet sitting, our innovative virtual platform helps simplify the pet caring process by connecting pet parents and passionate pet carers together.
As Australia’s most advanced pet care platform, we use innovative screening techniques, just like popular ride-sharing companies, to ensure your fur babies are in the safest of safe hands with pet professionals we call – Floofers.
Floofers are every day, hardworking Australians looking forward to taking care of your fur baby.
A Floofer could be your neighbour, auntie, daughter, best friend or a colleague at work. And it’s this happy ecosystem that I’m delighted to be a part of as an Advisory Board Member.
MANAGING Partner
Fixated on establishing, enabling and catalysing growth for organisations, through red hot branding trends and innovative digital practices, Enamus is the global full-service branding and digital agency you need to know about.
We’re a team of creatives, excited about unique ideas and helping companies create a brand identity that gets people talking. We do this by implementing top-notch marketing strategies that have been tailored for your brand and yours alone. That’s what makes us unique.
We are not a one-punch solution agency, implementing lacklustre and dated marketing strategies selected from a book, because each company is unique and so is your brand identity.
When you think of Enamus, think strategy, design, campaigning and production. No matter the task we help businesses deliver. It’s time to kick things into full gear.

Inequality for women still rears its ugly head. Despite being the 21st century, the gender gap, especially when it comes to technology, could not be more apparent. Well, Women in Tech is here to change that.
We’re an international non-profit organisation on a mission to flip the script on this injustice, by empowering 5 million women and girls by 2030 to succeed in tech-based career fields.
We’re focussing on four primary areas, education, business, social inclusion and advocacy, that desperately need action, to educate, equip and empower women and girls with the necessary
skills and confidence they need to succeed.
As a passionate Brand Ambassador, I’m proud to be able to contribute to such an important global mission by linking women up with tech opportunities, and helping to eradicate this sexist stigma once and for all.
