Selected works
Strategy & value chain
Value chain & cost transparency, global miner
Mapped the value chain to the non-obvious bottleneck capping output, and helped surface about A$400M of cost levers inside a A$2bn cost-visibility programme.
Operating model & governance
Accountabilities across a portfolio, industrial business
Restructured teams and clarified decision rights to speed delivery and strengthen governance across a complex set of operations.
Sustainability & intangibles
Water stewardship business case, diversified miner
Turned a water-management and social-impact strategy into clear trade-offs the capital-allocation process could weigh, and saw it adopted.
