As a young female executive in the technology industry, Alicia empowers others to embrace change where culture meets technology. She is recognised as an intellectual and cultural leader, with experience building a vibrant and extended community of allies, supporters, and champions.
Based in Canberra, Alicia works as a Change and Communications Lead on high-profile projects across the Australian Public Service. She has delivered speeches to 40 agencies across the Commonwealth and all ministerial offices, having even received a letter from former Australian Prime Minister John Howard for exceptional service delivery.
In addition to her impressive career, Alicia has mentored over 300 individuals, and provided corporate training to over 27,250 people across high-profile organisations. Alicia is passionate about the importance of diversity and how you can use your point of difference to develop a compelling personal brand. With an ever-evolving digital landscape, her ethos is to keep studying, understanding, and learning about technology.
I had the opportunity to work with Alicia for Day Two of the Public Sector Women in Leadership Summit in Canberra. Alicia displayed great characteristics of a chairperson and keynote speaker, from connecting with the crowd and keeping the audience engaged, to aiding with keeping the conference on time to ensure speakers are not inconvenienced. Alicia exemplified an innovative approach to speaking and chairing, which allowed the audience to follow along and add overall value to the conference through her creative input. Compounded by Alicia’s own achievements and personal values, the chairperson's experience aligned compatibly with the message the summit aimed to deliver. Adaptability and flexibility are two key traits that distinguish a good chairperson from a mediocre chair, and we were very pleased with Alicia’s ability to adapt to the changes which are akin to live in-person and hybrid events. Alicia left an overall positive impression and enabled the smooth running of the event, which can be reflected in the positive feedback we received from delegates.

Alicia is wonderfully knowledgeable on leadership, diversity, and inclusion and I look forward to working with her in the future. Australian Federal Government I have watched Alicia capture and inspire audiences during her well-considered and very articulate public speaking events; she has the innate ability to seamlessly coordinate and facilitate workshops and training courses, whilst maintaining the focus and motivation of participants.
