About Ida
Complexity is where I do my best work. I have built a career bridging the gap between abstract corporate strategy and hands-on execution, defined by a unique intersection of technical project rigour and human-centric change management. Whether leading transformations for global entities or navigating the complexities of large-scale public sectors, I specialise in managing high-stakes ambiguity while maintaining a relentless focus on data integrity and measurable value.
​
Structure Meets Sanctuary
At the heart of my work is the concept of Suku (tribe). I operate on the principle that true transformation requires a balance between two distinct forces:
​
-
The Blueprint: The precise, logical roadmap required to navigate massive corporate shifts.
​
-
The Sanctuary: A protected space where people can adapt, fail, and eventually excel without the fear that often accompanies radical change.
​
Built on Grit and Governance
My methodology was forged in environments where structure is the only thing that prevents chaos. My professional path has been shaped by three core pillars:
​
-
National Scale: Spearheading digital transformation programmes impacting approximately 80,000 people, managing the intricate project roadmaps and multi-stakeholder initiatives required for nationwide change.
​
-
Global Complexity: Acting as a regional lead for large-scale simplification programmes, aligning diverse business units globally with unified strategic goals. My work in the mining and resource sectors further honed my ability to stabilise operations where precision is a matter of safety and survival.
​
-
The Stabilisation Legacy: I am frequently brought into projects "mid-storm". I excel in high-pressure environments, stepping in to restore the operational backbone, draft essential playbooks, and design the performance frameworks needed to move an organisation from volatility to scale.
​
The Foundation: Design & Rigour
I approach organisational change with the mind of an architect and the discipline of a navigator. I hold a Master of Project Management from the University of Sydney and a Bachelor of Environmental Design. This background allows me to treat transitions not just as corporate hurdles, but as landscapes to be purposefully designed—ensuring every foundation is solid before the first brick of change is laid.
​
Grit and Perspective
My understanding of resilience is built on more than just boardroom experience. I have spent over 20 years on two wheels, navigating motorcycles through the varied terrains of Singapore, Australia, Thailand, Cambodia, and Indonesia. My sense of balance and flow is further sharpened on the water; I am an avid surfer who has sought out breaks across Indonesia, Thailand, and Hawaii.
​
Whether it is the focus required for a technical trail ride, the patience needed to cultivate an edible garden, the discipline of learning the ukulele, or the vulnerability of performing live on a theatre stage, this lived experience informs my leadership style. From the endurance demanded by a ski season in France or Japan to the command of a stage, I bring a rare level of grit and a steady hand to every engagement. I translate decades of personal and professional exploration into a singular focus: helping organisations find their footing and realise their full potential.
