Program Director · Regulated Industries · Available in Sydney, NSW

I build programs that ship products that save lives.

Mechanical engineer by training — BEng (Hons) — program director by craft. Eighteen years delivering complex, regulated products in environments where getting it wrong isn't a version two problem.

AI Radiology Platform

Scaling regulated AI product delivery across a fast-moving, cross-functional organisation with no existing program infrastructure.

Built the PMO from the ground up — operating rhythm, delivery frameworks, planning cadences and reporting architecture. Led cross-functional teams ranging from 10 to 60 people across product development, customer deployment and business transformation. Structured delivery well enough to keep pace with a rapidly evolving product and regulatory landscape, without bureaucracy slowing the science down.

Ventilator Supply Chain Scale-Up

The COVID-19 pandemic hit and life-support ventilator demand surged 7× globally in weeks. Engineering, manufacturing and supply chain had to scale simultaneously, with no margin for sequencing.

When the pandemic shut down the world, hospitals ran out of ventilators. Led ResMed's emergency response program to scale production from a standing start — coordinating engineering design constraints, manufacturing ramp, supplier qualification and regulatory approvals across multiple sites in parallel. The challenge was not any single workstream — it was keeping all of them synchronised under conditions nobody had planned for. Product reached patients.

ResMed High Flow Therapy Device
ResMed · c. 2014–2015

High Flow Therapy Device — First-to-Market

Deliver ResMed's first high flow therapy device — a new product category — from concept to market in under nine months.

Project managed the full product development cycle for a net-new device with no internal precedent: concept, design, verification, regulatory submission and launch. The timeline required deliberate scope control from day one — deciding early what the product had to do, and defending that boundary throughout. Delivered on schedule. That kind of compressed new-product delivery is only possible when the program structure matches the constraint.

Career Thread

Engineering to leadership.
Every step earned.

A progressive arc from hands-on engineering to program leadership in regulated industries.

Education Prior to industry

BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering

University of Greenwich, UK. The foundation for everything that followed — understanding how physical systems are designed, constrained and made to work under real conditions.

ResMed Feb 2007 – Jun 2008

Mechanical Engineer

Designed and developed respiratory device components. Built fluency in medical device engineering, manufacturing constraints and regulatory requirements from the ground up.

ResMed Jun 2008 – Apr 2011

Manager, Product Development

Moved from engineering into product development management. Led cross-functional teams through medical device design and verification cycles, building early capability in structured delivery.

Cochlear May 2011 – Jan 2016

Project Manager, Product Development

Coordinated cross-functional delivery across Cochlear's implant portfolio in a highly regulated environment. Developed the discipline of managing complex product programs from concept through to market.

ResMed Jan 2016 – Feb 2017

Project Manager, Product Development

Returned to ResMed to lead product development programs. Owned delivery of medical device projects across engineering, regulatory and clinical workstreams.

ResMed Feb 2017 – Jun 2021

Senior Manager, Product Development

Led major product launches, regulatory submissions and the COVID-19 ventilator scale-up. Built program management capability across engineering and product teams. Owned end-to-end delivery for multi-region medical device programs under extreme time pressure.

Harrison.ai Jul 2021 – Aug 2025

Senior Program Manager, Product Development

Joined Harrison.ai to lead product delivery for the AI radiology platform. Established the delivery operating model and frameworks as the organisation scaled from early-stage to regulated commercial deployment.

Harrison.ai Sep 2025 – present

PMO Director

Leading product delivery across Harrison.ai's AI radiology platform. Built the PMO function from scratch. Responsible for how the program runs, cross-functional delivery and scaling AI products into clinical use in regulated markets.

About

A bit about how I operate.

I'm a Senior Program Director with 18+ years delivering regulated products across medical devices, AI clinical software and advanced technology. I work at the intersection of engineering rigour and organisational complexity.

I specialise in building the program infrastructure that ambitious products need — the operating model, delivery frameworks, cross-functional alignment — and making it all run without slowing the science down.

How I Work

A few things I've found to be true.

I don't measure my effectiveness by what I personally deliver — I measure it by what the people around me are able to deliver. That means investing in capability, not just output. Giving people the clarity, the runway and the backing they need to do their best work. The programs I'm most proud of are ones where the team ran well because of the environment we built together, not because I was the bottleneck everything ran through.

Not as a point of pride — as a baseline. Commitments get honoured, or they get renegotiated early with full transparency. The programs that fail usually don't fail because the work was too hard. They fail because someone knew there was a problem and didn't say so in time. My job is to make sure that never happens on my watch: honest status, early escalation, no surprises at the finish line.

I've run programs during a global pandemic, under regulatory deadlines with no margin, and through the kind of organisational ambiguity that makes most plans useless. The response in those situations isn't to project calm — it's to stay analytical. What's the actual constraint? What decisions need to be made right now, and by whom? Panic is a distraction. Clear thinking under pressure is a skill, and it's one I've had to use repeatedly in circumstances where it counted.
