She has led large-scale transformation initiatives involving complex stakeholder environments, multidisciplinary teams, digital technologies, data, processes and organisational change.With a PhD in Digital Transformation from the University of Adelaide, Samantha is particularly interested in how technology can enable better collaboration, faster learning and more responsive decision-making, while ensuring that transformation remains centred on the people and communities it is intended to serve.
