I have had the pleasure of working with Louise for the past four years. Louise heads up our ANZ Marketing Team and her ability to manage multiple projects to completion efficiently and effectively brings much value to the overall business. I no hesitation in recommending Louise as a team member or leader.”

Stuart Kath, National Sales Manager - Align Technology

“Having worked with Louise at both Singtel Optus and Invisalign Australia, I have been very fortunate to learn so much from her thought leadership, her continual vision for marketing projects and the for the wider business. Louise has always strived for business process improvement and above all, has always focused her energy on the strategic direction of the business, its growth, competitive advantage and positioning in the marketplace. Louise’s strength in business strategy is complemented by her open and approachable leadership qualities. She actively involves stakeholders and values their input in order to make informed and insightful decisions, and in turn earns the respect of her colleagues, direct reports and business partners. It is always an absolute pleasure to work with Louise.”

Tanya Rivera, Head of Marketing ANZ - Invisalign Australia

“Louise is extremely competent at what she does: understanding the needs of her stakeholders, matching to the capabilities of the organisation and ultimately driving to - and delivering a great result. It sounds easy to do; however working within a large and diverse Marketing group (that had ever shifting priorities) needed the personal ability to cut through the rubbish and get to the heart of the issue. I saw Louise do that time and time again, and more importantly show the leadership needed to take people with her on that journey.”
