Retail Leasing

My professional knowhow stems from an extensive career in retail property development, project leasing, site acquisition and disposals and property management.

I joined Colliers International after holding the position of National Business Manager for Stockland Commercial for 9 years. During this time I was responsible for the acquisition and disposal of just over $750M worth of Retail and Commercial assets.

Prior to my Capital Transactions role in Commercial Property, I was the Regional General Manager Leasing for the Stockland Shopping Centre portfolio.

Prior to Stockland, I was the National Leasing Manager for Lend Lease Retail here in Australia. I worked on some of Australia’s leading Retail projects including, Casuarina Darwin, Melbourne Central, Sunshine Plaza and Smithfield in QLD and Woden in the ACT. I was the Lend Lease Asset Manager for the Kiwi Income Fund and worked on several of their retail projects in New Zealand.

Prior to Lend Lease, I was a National Director with Jones Lang Wootton in both WA and NSW and ran the National Project Leasing team for again some of Australia’s best retail assets and Portfolios.

I also have a lengthy career in the media working for John Fairfax and Sons in TV and Radio for many years.

Retail Property is my passion , and importantly, in appreciating that site selection and the right rent deal can make or break any business. 20 years of experience in real estate, with over 15  years in retail property, on both sides of the fence, gives me a unique advantage in ensuring optimal site selection for success.

I've worked as the lessor (Knight Frank and Westfield leasing - Carindale, Chermside, Toombul, Bondi Cairns central, Caneland ( Mackay), Redbank Plaza) and as the tenant (Outsourced Coffee Club, Vivians Jewellery, Grill'd, Matchbox, Just Cuts, Riot Art & Craft and New Zealand Natural) - all of who successfully expanded under my watch. This experience and knowledge is irreplaceable in the retail business and sets both Colliers , and myself, apart from the rest of the market

In my role with Colliers I oversee the Brisbane and Gold Coast leasing teams and personally specialise in the Brisbane CBD market and key Projects.
