I work as the Commissioner to the Americas for the Australian State of Victoria.
It is a role that requires a passionate commitment to understanding my state and country and promoting it to the Americans, north and south.
I work with and manage a talented team in the Victorian Government Business Offices in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Washington DC and our tourism office in Los Angeles.
We promote Victoria and Victorians to North and South Americans. We assist Americans wanting to do business in Victoria and its capital Melbourne. We support Victorians entering the exciting and competitive American markets.
Our main responsibility is to support foreign direct investment and exports. We develop and grow strategic partnerships with corporations, government, educational institutions and individuals. My team is innovative.
We developed the Victorians Abroad on-line structure which has now been adopted globally by the Victorian Government under the Victorian Connections programs.
