Kate is an Associate Partner in our Government Sector practice having been attracted to the sector as a result of the work the State and Federal government departments and agencies do for the greater good of the community.  The variety of roles required by Government clients, along with the fast pace of change that the sector is experiencing, form part of the reasons Kate stays engaged and challenged in her role.

She loves nothing more than managing a search which culminates with the client spoiled for choice with a shortlist of highly qualified candidates who are not only technically capable of doing the job, but are also the right fit for the client’s culture and for the role itself.  Achieving this is, amongst other things, her understanding of the Public Sector selection processes including a deep understanding of the focus capabilities under the Public Sector Capability Frameworks and the principles of merit-based selection, including process, probity and reporting requirements.

“To me, Greatness is found by partnering with our public sectors in attracting the best people to build customer-centric, supportive, inclusive and diverse cultures while also contributing to our communities.”

‍

Kate’s interest in people extends to the pride she takes in ensuring that the communication flow between clients and candidates is as seamless as the project management itself.  She is as focused on the quality of the experience of each of the stakeholders throughout an assignment, as she is on the outcome.  

No challenge is too daunting for Kate, when her children were young, she moved the family to the United States and successfully joined a tightknit community for new life experiences. She is currently appreciating the ‘joy’ of completing a full renovation of her 1910 weatherboard cottage, something that makes her enjoy a favourite glass of Shiraz even more.
