Global Risk Report – Local Government

I'm the Chief Risk Officer and organisational resilience expert at Skefto Innovations. I've been in the game for over 20 years, serving in senior risk and resilience roles across Local, State and Federal Government organisations. I've worked with Councils, Boards and Executives to support the successful execution of strategy by embedding risk frameworks, organisational resilience frameworks, business continuity management systems and innovation programs. I've previously led and delivered transformational change in risk management and enhancing organisational cultures. For the past five plus years, I've been educating the Victorian Public Sector in risk management. Skefto is LG Pro Victoria’s risk education partner, together with IPAA-ACT. I'm a nominated expert to the International Standards Organization (ISO) having led a global project for the development of a new international standard ISO 22336: Organizational resilience - Guidelines for resilience policy and strategy which was published in 2024. I'm a Fellow of the Institute of Strategic Risk Management (ISRM), and the current Deputy Chair of ISRM's Victoria/SA Chapter. Fun fact: I'm also a singer / songwriter who performed in front of more than 75,000 people at the MCG on Anzac Day.
