ABOUT ME
IT ALL STARTS Here.
I had the dream job. The title. The global team.
The $300K salary. But I sold my soul for it.
After 16 years climbing the ladder in HR, Talent, and Leadership roles across retail, luxury beauty, health tech, and fintech, I hit the “top.” I was leading global talent functions, partnering with founders and CEOs, and scaling teams across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and the USA.
I built and scaled teams across every function of the business:
✔️ Marketing , Digital & Brand
✔️ Finance & Commercial
✔️ Legal & Risk
✔️ Product & Design
✔️ Saas Sales & Customer Success
✔️ Operations & C-Suite Leadership
✔️ Engineering, Cyber & Data

I coach high-performing women to:
Build real confidence so they show up calm, credible, and decisive
Get clear on their next move and stop second-guessing
Articulate their value in a way senior leaders and hiring managers respect
Position themselves strongly in a tough market instead of blending in
Become visible to the right people (without cold applying or posting daily)
Access opportunities beyond job boards through strategic relationships
Prepare for interviews and negotiations so they’re taken seriously and paid properly
-
Direct, calm, and strategic
Someone who cuts through the noise and overthinking
Honest but deeply supportive
Exceptionally good at seeing and articulating value others miss
Outcome-focused — every session ends with clarity and next steps
A coach who makes tough career moves feel clear and doable
What clients often say:“Ash doesn’t hype you up — she gives you clarity, a plan, and the confidence to execute.”
IF A BUSINESS NEEDED IT, MY TEAM AND I HIRED IT, DEVELOPED IT, AND Grew it.
Behind the scenes? I was burnt out, working 14-hour days, never seeing my son, and slowly losing the parts of myself that mattered most. Then came the breaking point: a restructuring conversation that forced me to choose between uprooting my family to Singapore or taking redundancy. I walked away — not because I wasn't capable, but because I finally realised something:
A job can pay you well and still cost you everything.
Confidence. Identity. Health. Joy.
So I rebuilt my career on my own terms — and turned my decades of experience into a coaching business that helps other women do the same. Today, I’ve coached 250+ women through career pivots, promotions, job searches, and complete identity rebuilds. My clients come from cybersecurity, Mining, tech, finance, government, banking,NFP , health, and every imaginable corner of corporate life — but they all have one thing in common:
They’re brilliant, capable, and wildly under-positioned, 99% of women tell me they have lost their confidence in their career.
On paper? It was everything I worked for.
MY WORK IS WHERE WE Fix THAT.
✔️ Position themselves as the obvious choice
✔️ Speak about their value with confidence
✔️ Break into competitive industries
✔️ Become visible to the right decision-makers
✔️ Interview like a leader - not an applicant
✔️ Step into careers that feel powerful, paid, and aligned
