If you are after my academic CV here it is.

If you’re curious about the person behind it, here’s a more personal picture, unfinished and evolving.

Much of my life has been shaped by moving across geographies and cultures. I've lived and worked on four continents and in seven countries. Early on, I thought adaptation was survival. Later I began to sense it was also a form of inquiry into people, systems, and how meaning is made across shifting terrains.

Along the way, I've worked as an executive and a consultant, led teams, and stewarded organisational transformations and international expansions. I've helped organisations rethink not just what they do, but how they see. Before all that, I waited tables in Las Vegas, answered phones on a suicide hotline, and laboured as a construction worker - all roles that offered a different kind of intelligence: how to listen, how to notice what's unspoken, how to stay human and humble in the face of life.

At some point, I stopped trying to chase the 'right path' and realised I was already walking one: through teaching, coaching, and developmental work. This journey has required me to face my own shadows - the patterns of approval-seeking, the ways I've compromised authenticity for belonging, and the intergenerational wounds that shaped how I show up in systems.

Currently, I've found the best expression for it as a professor of organisational behaviour at INSEAD business school, where I can bridge the practical demands of organisational life with deeper questions of purpose, meaning, and authentic leadership. Here, alongside colleagues who have become genuine friends, I work with leaders ready to examine not just what they do or what "should be", but what actually is - and who they become in the process.

I don't believe in silver bullets or grand theories. But I do trust the generativity of dialogue, the power of noticing and paying attention, and the alchemy that happens when diverse ways of knowing are held together long enough to shift something.

I also move through the world visually. Photography, painting, ink, and writing are not hobbies for me but forms of knowing. They help me deal with complexity, beauty, and grief. They are how I stay in touch with what can’t be spoken in bullet points or neat “take-aways'“.

When I’m not working or creating, I’m likely riding a motorcycle somewhere, or swimming in the open water off Sydney’s Northern Beaches, my current home, though the road always continues.
