Why I'm in ICT To me, ICT stands for innovation, creation and transformation. And that's *what* I do in my career. In 1996 through a strange twist of funding fate, I was introduced to IP group videoconferencing, and in a moment of destiny, felt strongly that I must be a part of this new industry. I have been workng in ICT industry ever since -specialising in Communicatons services development. I love this industry! It's exciting, dynamic and broad in scope. I am particualry interested in researching and understanding the behaviours within communities and developing intelligent, relevant communications tools using both existing and emerging technologies. Technology is always only an enabler, but needs to be understood in order to deliver an optimal user experience within a given timeframe. My focus is on user experience. I am now involved in pionering work in Mobile Broadband Wireless Internet, Mobile IP, Convergent interactive multimedia and digital television. My goal is to provide much needed services to isolated people and to assist in providing communications globally in this new millenium. Scroll down to find out more about my objectives. |

I'm motivated by achievement. I'm inspired to create the future and feel privileged to be afforded the power of change. I'm an innovator who enjoys harnessing the potential of the incredible people around me. My Objective is to contribute business acumen, inspired innovative thinking, & passionate can-do attitude to a like-minded team of results focused professionals that are motivated to achieve value through excellence. The environment I work in must be fun & value people via tangible support, recognition & rewards I am a passionate supporter of Australian innovation, and am actively involved in assessing ICT opportunities for numerous government and non-profit organisations. With its cultural diversity, proximity to Asia Pacific, and pioneering spirit, I believe Australia is uniquely positioned as a test market for global innovation. By recognising and rewarding innovative domestic companies, Australia can help to harness and translate this great potential into global success by investing in the development of our own intellectual property ~ in effect creating a true *Smart Australia*. During my formative years, a seed was sowed that would develop into a passion to provide cost-effective communications services for people in isolated communities. This later matured and developed into the goal of making life better, by creating rich virtual communications services for global communities. When I entered the ICT industry in 1996, I was afforded the opportunity to become an experienced convergence specialist many years before it became a *buzzword*. Today mobile internet, multimedia communications, financial and security convergence can be viewed as *gold rush in the wild west of a brave new world* ~ a world of risk & opportunity for intelligent creative, visionary people. This is the dawning of a new industry sector. Well funded, and holding the glamour and excitement that has traditionally been the domain of the Movie, TV and Music industries, this new sector is ready to be carved up by the bold. The traditional view of a *female role* holds little sway in such a dynamic environment hungry for inspiration, strategic direction, experience and execution. In particular this type of new industry empowers talented women to take prime positions rather than the supplementary roles they may be forced to accept in more traditional industries (with higher incidence of *gatekeeper* type activity).
