In 2004 I joined a Melbourne labour hire firm as a graduate. By 2008 I was a director, revenue had grown from $8M to $20M, and a $300K loss had become $1.2M EBITDA. I've been finding people ever since.

Since then I've run executive search in sustainability, supply chain and procurement in Melbourne, and been Managing Director for Asia at a global commodities search firm, based in Singapore with offices in Hong Kong and Australia. I co-founded Augment Resources, a $12M contracting and consulting business across Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland, and sold it to my partners in 2022. (Yes, I once co-owned a pub in Carlton too. I got it back to profit in 14 months, and I still have opinions about suppliers.)

Small Target started in October 2023 because I wanted to do search the way I think it should be done: selective, high-touch, and personal. I studied behavioural science at La Trobe, graduating first in honours, which is why I care about how people actually behave, not just what's on their CV.

These days I also chair Remuneration and Nominations committees at Badminton Australia, the Australian Flying Disc Association and Pickleball Australia, so I know the board table from the inside as well as the search side.

​On weekends I coach pickleball around Bendigo, Castlemaine and Maryborough. I've taught more than 300 people to stay out of the kitchen.
