I have worked in HR and Payroll transformations in Europe, Asia and Australia for over 13 years. With my background in consulting, I specialised in Workday in 2013. I was deployed on 12+ Workday implementations life cycles, in different roles, as part of a larger project team and exposed to various industries. I have gained extensive knowledge of the product itself, being Workday Certified in Core HCM, Core Compensation, Recruiting and Learning. I switched from the Workday Partner side to the customer side in March 2022 and those certifications have been transferred to Workday Pro Certifications.  As the HR Chancellery Lead for the University of Melbourne, I’m overseeing Workday HCM and Payroll as part of the overall transformation project which includes Workday Finance and Scheduling and Time and Attendance.

I have gained a substantial amount of experience working as a Senior Principal Consultant / Engagement Manager for Workdays implementation partners. I have supported and lead the successful design and implementation of Workday applications. In order to drive scope, definitions and deliverables within an agreed time frame, a close partnership with internal and external stakeholders are key responsibilities and part of my daily work life. I have conducted training sessions (Train the Trainer), reviewed and approved integration design documents and captured and evaluated change impact assessments and strategies.
