My career spans several sectors, but the work has consistently focused on evidence, operations, regulation, funding and human capacity.

2012–2016

Automotive finance and operations

Advanced into finance leadership early in my career and learned how incentives, approval systems, and numbers shape behavior.

Conditions repeated across the roles

Across those roles, responsibility was often separated from approval authority, reports were separated from operating work, and financial or compliance requirements received formal records while capacity and correction work did not.

That cross-sector perspective now informs my work through IVA and my doctoral research. I am most useful where a decision is technically possible but one or more required conditions are missing.
