About Me

I’m an operator and ex-founder who’s spent the last decade working at the intersection of fintech, innovation, and technology policy. I love building — whether that’s products, teams, or ecosystems — and I’ve been lucky enough to do a bit of all three.

Most recently, I was Director of Revenue Strategy at Chipper Cash, one of Africa’s fastest-growing fintechs. I led work on new market expansion, go-to-market strategy, and the commercial structure behind our global growth. Before that, I headed up fmX, a corporate accelerator for IAG, Australia’s largest general insurer, where we worked with founders solving real-world problems in insurance, finance, and adjacent sectors.

Earlier in my career, I was the founding General Manager of Stone & Chalk Melbourne, where I helped launch the Victorian Innovation Hub — a project that brought together startups, government, and corporates to create one of Australia’s most dynamic fintech communities. During that time, I also co-founded Fintech Victoria, which helped put the local fintech ecosystem on the map.

Alongside my operator roles, I’ve always been drawn to policy and advocacy. I served as Chairperson of Fintech Australia for three years and remain a board member today. I also sit on the Federal Government’s Fintech Advisory Group and ASIC’s Digital Finance Advisory Committee, helping shape how regulation and innovation can move together — not against each other.

Before fintech, I cut my teeth in the tax and legal practice of a Big 4 accounting firm, specialising in structured finance and international tax. That foundation gave me a deep understanding of how businesses scale across borders — knowledge that still informs how I think about markets, growth, and governance today.

On the side, I’m an angel investor, backing early-stage fintech and frontier-tech startups as their first believer. I’m also the writer behind Fintech Radar, a newsletter that explores under-discussed trends shaping the future of financial technology.

Across all of it, a few things stay constant: I like working with smart people solving hard problems, I believe innovation ecosystems matter, and I think the most interesting companies are built by those willing to rethink how things should work — not just how they do.
