About

I am Head of Radio at the Asia Pacific Broadcasting Union. The ABU represents more than 230 members in 65 countries and I work to set the strategic direction for radio and podcasting and support members needs. I'm an experienced and highly motivated media professional with a 360 degree understanding of all aspects of podcasting, audio on demand content, radio production, content strategy and development, distribution, digital content production, audio trends, and analytics. I have worked across a wide variety of media roles, managing multiple and simultaneous projects and have excellent editorial, leadership, teamwork, and project management skills. I spent 21 years at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation across a variety of roles in radio, podcasting and digital. I started my ABC career as a producer at the Radio National network where I produced various shows on media, technology, current affairs and sport. I was a founding member of the ABC's podcast team and my core work was at the intersection of audio and digital with a strong focus on podcasting, content development, strategy, distribution and audio innovation projects.
