Group General Counsel and Company Secretary

Accent Group Pty Ltd is a retail store which provides Sperry Top-Sider, K-Swiss, InStride, Palladium, Stance and Cushe.

I am an experienced Head of Legal and Group Company Secretary who excels in providing tangible solutions to complex legal and governance issues. As Head of Legal and Governance at Accent, I've streamlined governance across the group from over 50 companies to 9, lead on implementation of one of the first virtual group structures in the sector and spoken at national board and company secretary conferences on corporate governance issues. I've gained experience in managing multi-disciplinary issues and navigating complex problems by - Understanding the needs of the business and our clients. - Acknowledging most client's aren't impressed with technical legal and governance jargon. They just want practical solutions that they can understand and implement. - Having value for money at the forefront of my mind when making any decision. In today's market efficiency matters more than ever. - Looking proactively to see where my team can add value to the business. Our job is to spot potential problems and provide a solution before they become an issue. I want to grow my professional network. Reach out if you want to discuss legal and corporate governance issues. Skills: Legal advice at board and executive team level, strategic governance advice, relationship management and influencing, team building.
