INvolve Enable Role Model 2025
1st Australian · 50 globally
Named to the global Enable Role Model List for advancing workplace inclusion through lived experience.
In 2025, INvolve named me to its global Enable Role Model List: 50 people worldwide recognised for using personal experience of disability, neurodiversity or mental health to advance workplace inclusion. I was the first Australian to make the list, which is sponsored by Dow.
What sits behind it
- Board adviser to Amaze since 2022, and a member of the Autistic Employee Advisory Group for its A+ Employer Program.
- Connecting GroupM and Amaze to pilot the A-Plus Inclusion program in support of GroupM's 16-point Disability Action Plan, including training for all AUNZ managers on managing neurodiverse staff.
- Writing publicly about my own diagnosis for AdNews and the Media Federation of Australia, with one consistent message for the industry: ask, don't assume.
Being the first Australian named matters less for the title than for the signal: the workplace inclusion conversation has properly reached this market. Recognition is a lever — it opens doors with leadership that lived experience alone sometimes can't.
