Delivering improved outcomes for communities is at the heart of Orchard’s business, and this aligns strongly with my values. My focus is on strengthening Orchard’s Government and Board practice during a period of significant change, helping organisations secure leaders who can deliver on their purpose and create lasting public value. I am motivated by Orchard’s mission to elevate people, organisations and sectors that contribute to a stronger tomorrow, and by our commitment to connecting leadership talent with roles that positively impact lives.
