Danielle has extensive experience as a HR professional and has recently returned to her home state with diverse international and domestic experience in public and private sectors. She has worked as a HR business partner for a national government agency in New Zealand, established and lead specialised recruitment functions in Melbourne, regional Queensland and Perth and worked in the tertiary sector. This diverse and broad experience means she is equally comfortable providing recruitment expertise up to executive level, as well as a range of general and strategic work and brings a unique perspective to delivering the best possible outcomes for organisations.
A well-practiced systems thinker, Danielle strongly believes that a people centred approach is the most important enabler of system and strategic organisational outcomes. Danielle relishes setting organisations up for success by helping them take a people-centred and partnering approach to their change management, recruitment, and human resource needs. She has managed and built HR teams and functions and is experienced in strategic business partnering. With combined training in psychology and neuroscience her strong people focus allows her to quickly develop trust and chart a course through complex problems with a relaxed and approachable style.
Danielle has a passion for leadership and coaching and believes in helping organisations to provide the environment for people to do their best work. She has experience running change programs and large organisational builds in fluid operating environments, recently helping to establish a national forestry service in New Zealand which was a key manifesto commitment for then Arden government and most recently helping to build, establish and lead a centralised Talent Acquisition service with a partnership approach for end-to-end recruitment in a large WA government agency.
