‘A defining point in my career was leading Prophecy International through a full transformation to a SaaS-based model. Bringing the team together to simplify the business, raise capital and refocus on innovation not only strengthened performance but also built clarity and resilience across the organisation. It highlighted for me the impact that steady leadership and aligned decision-making can have during times of uncertainty.’
