I’m driven to find world-leading Australian capability - wherever it lives across industry, government, academia, and the regions - and turn it into international research and commercial outcomes.

My mission is to open doors at the highest levels, make the strategic case that compels action, and secure backing from global players (especially the heads of German organisation) in order to ensure that Australian ingenuity competes and wins on the world stage.

Australia does not lack ideas or talent; it lacks exposure and opportunity at the crucible of global excellence. I focus on competitive advantage, not comparative advantage - on the contest of technology, design creativity, and execution.

For nearly three decades, beginning with my PhD-seeded Australia-Germany startup experience, I have paired Australian new-to-world thinking with Germanic Europe’s precision engineering and scale (Germany, Austria, Switzerland and bordering countries) to accelerate deep-tech from concept to commercial reality.

I bring lived fluency – in German language, business culture, and decision processes – that de-risks entry, avoids costly beginner mistakes, and compresses time-to-trust. I engage directly with C-suite and institutional leaders to shape programs that meet the expectations of the world’s best. Success is not declared at home; it is proven “away”—by meeting and exceeding benchmarks in the arenas where global critical mass resides.

My commitment is to the people behind the breakthroughs: students, researchers, founders, and regional innovators who often underestimate how good they are. I identify what is truly world-class, position it with credibility, and stay with the work until partnerships, pilots, and commercial operations are signed and delivering.

Australian creativity, German engineering excellence, and global market discipline—this is the marriage I champion. The imperative is clear: be present in key innovation regions, compete at the frontier, and convert capability into enduring, international value. My mission is to make that pathway real, repeatable, and successful — again and again.
