- Strategic leadership skills to inspire and influence, leverage expertise and resources to achieve quality outcomes.
- Highly developed leadership and management skills with a focus on providing sound strategic direction and support to achieve outcomes.
- High-level written and verbal communications and experience in negotiation, with the ability to effectively communicate at the most senior levels in the private and public sectors.
