Experience and background

Robyn is an experienced coach, mentor and active ASX-200 Board Director, currently serving on the boards of Brickworks Limited, HomeCo Daily Needs REIT, and Ranfurlie Asset Management. She is a former Chair of Women on Boards SX, a peer program supporting women into ASX-listed roles. The program has been oversubscribed since its 2018 launch.

An experienced Chair of People, Culture and Remuneration Committees, Robyn has guided multiple organisations through successful CEO succession and executive transitions, which are some of the most critical decisions a Board makes.

Before transitioning to her board portfolio, she held senior leadership roles at Unilever, Lendlease, Fairfax, and Stockland. At Stockland (ASX50), she was General Manager of Retail Leasing, leading one of the group’s largest business units. She repositioned the brand and delivered consistent revenue growth in a flat retail market. The portfolio included 3,200 tenants and generated more than $6.3 billion in annual sales across a $5.7 billion asset base.

Robyn’s executive career has been underpinned by a track record of driving growth, leading high-performing teams, and navigating complex stakeholder environments.

Since 2015, Robyn has coached senior leaders across sectors including financial services, infrastructure, property, telco, media, retail, FMCG, higher education, government, healthcare, aviation, and professional services. Her combined corporate and board experience makes her a trusted mentor and coach for CEOs, C-suite leaders, and emerging leaders.

  • Master of Science in Coaching Psychology from the University of Sydney

Personal insights

Robyn enjoys time with her husband and adult son, and balances her love of great food, music, and wine with visits to the beach, spin classes, and bush walks.

What our clients say

I really benefited from working with Robyn as a coach. She took the time to listen and understand what is important to me as I continue developing as a person and as a leader and tailored our sessions around this. I really valued the way Robyn drew from her applied experience as a business leader to help me work out how to best approach an issue.

Alongside Robyn’s business experience, she has deep knowledge of coaching psychology and I enjoyed learning about myself through discussion with Robyn about these ideas and through the practical exercises we did together. Robyn’s warmth and good humour make her a pleasure to work with.
