Joanne Hill

I am a forward thinking and adaptable individual who strives for continuous improvement. My intellectual curiosity helps me gain the knowledge to complete tasks effectively, efficiently and autonomously, with an eye for detail and a meticulous methodical work style. I am pro-active and thrive on challenges ensuring projects are on time and within budget.

Recently this has included co-ordination of the Pursuit of Purpose event, the Modern Luxury Portrait opportunity for our people and the coordination of Our Purpose & Me Facilitated Conversation sessions. Being highly motivated I can organise and prioritise tasks to achieve desired outcomes. I have a proven track record of the development and effective deployment of team events and employee engagement initiatives.

Comfortable in high pressure environments, delivering accurate results whilst meeting deadlines.
