🔎 Where does a business already have momentum, customer trust and a right to win? That’s the question at the heart of Issue 01 of From the Street - a new occasional note from Rival Street. Read + subscribe: 🌐 rivalstreet.com/from-the-str…

🙏 Nearly four months since launching Rival Street, I’m incredibly grateful for the support and hundreds of insightful conversations that have shaped our thinking. 💭 I’m delighted to now share our growing library of Perspectives. 🌐 rivalstreet.com/perspectives #ValueCreation

🔎 Are businesses designed to deliver the plan or outperform it? 📈 The plan & budget should be a commitment. Then ask: what’s our plan to outperform? 🚀 Invest behind it. Empower people to deliver it. Let the upside compound. 🌐 rivalstreet.com #ValueCreation

🌏One of the great privileges of a global career is the friendships that endure across continents and decades. Wonderful to catch up in Sydney with my former @Mercer colleague, Felipe Rodriguez Walker, from Santiago 🇨🇱 Great conversation on AI, leadership and creating value 🙌#AI

🌍 Private equity deal activity is accelerating again but the pattern of value creation is evolving. The next phase may depend less on financial engineering and more on disciplined focus, execution and the ability to compound customer trust over time. 🌐 rivalstreet.com

🚀 Today, Rival Street launches. Focused on value creation through stronger profitable growth from clarity, customer trust and execution. Working with boards, CEOs and private equity investors where and when decisions really matter. 🌐 rivalstreet.com

A few months, >100 conversations, and some consistent themes: value creation, customer trust and execution discipline. 🚀 Something new launching shortly. #Clarity #Focus #Growth

🎆 Happy New Year and welcome to 2026! 👐 I hope the holiday period offered you some space to pause, reset and reconnect. I was fortunate to spend time with my family by the beach in Sydney, often with sand between my toes. 💙 Wishing you happiness and much success in 2026.

🙌 It’s the people (and the big blue monster!), my colleagues, at @Ausretiretrust which made my time there so fulfilling. 🏁 The day came for me to say “see you later” to them and Artie. I can’t wait to see the impact they’ll have in the future. I wish them and ART every success!

🙌 I’m thrilled for my colleague, Kathy Vincent, who was selected by our @Ausretiretrust board to succeed me as our next CEO. 🤝 Throughout October I’ll work diligently to support Kathy as she commences the next chapter of ART’s growth & transformation. shorturl.at/ItwAB

🙌 Very proud times! My @Ausretiretrust colleagues have accomplished so much over the past couple of years. I now need to be closer to family and devote more time to them. I'll move on in November after supporting my colleague, Kathy Vincent's, transition to become our next CEO.

🚀 Exciting times! My first week is now done as the next CEO of @Ausretiretrust! 💪I’m grateful for the incredible journey that led me here and thrilled to bring my experience back to Australia to work with the extraordinary ART team to amplify our impact for good #TeamART

This International Women's Day, our daughter Molly and I are raising awareness of the need for economic inclusion and investment to accelerate progress for women and girls everywhere. Today and every day is an opportunity to #CountHerIn! #IWD2024 @Ausretiretrust
