This role reports to Jess Speir, Retail Director ANZ

I started my professional career as a corporate lawyer before shifting into the fast paced world of advertising where I partnered with some of the world’s most loved brands to find creative solutions to their business problems. Fortunate to have a choice, I took a 6 year career hiatus to have my family and during this time an interest in mental health led me to study Psychology. Six years and four children later (we went for three and got twins!) I decided to return to the work-force and was deliberate in seeking out Auror. We’re solving a real problem affecting our communities and have a team of high performing superstars who are genuinely passionate about empowering retailers and Police globally to stop crime, for good. Outside of work I’m in full mum-mode, carting my kids here, there and everywhere, but when I can I enjoy nothing more than some quiet time to myself ensconced in a good book.
