Retail Expert, PhD Candidate & Sessional Academic, University of Sydney
After ~20 years experience within FMCG/CPG interfacing with grocery retailers and all other consumer channels across tier 1, tier 2, regional manufacturing and start up suppliers, I am seeking to help solve industry problems through academic research.
I have been fortunate enough to undertake my PhD at The University of Sydney which ranks #18 globally in QS rankings for 2025. I commenced part-time in 2022, and within two years my research area was a global issue. I see this as fortunate. I engage weekly with industry bodies, suppliers, retailers, regulators and government. helping solve issues which industry is too busy to solve, will help make it better and keep the industry and consumers. This is the most fun I have had in a long time, fixing problems which help more stakeholders is what drives me.
