Morgana is a management consultant with experience in a range of strategic, business process and IT assignments spanning the private and development sectors. Her early career focused on business process transformation for large utility and international oil companies, including Energy Australia, Transalta and Shell Exploration and Production. This gave her the opportunity to work in Australia, the Middle East, Europe and Asia.
Morgana has spent nearly a decade working in the international development sector, applying her skills and experiences with Accenture Development Partnerships (ADP), a non-for-profit organization within Accenture. Having led the ADP Asia Pacific practice, Morgana then moved to be the Global lead for Organizational Strengthening overseeing ADP’s work on strategy, structure and operations.
Morgana has been privileged to work with some of the world’s largest international NGOs at multiple levels; designing and implementing improvements at International headquarter/ secretariat, regional and country levels as well as with local national organizations. This work has largely focused on how complex international NGOs with limited resources can operate to achieve more together, particularly when faced with significant geographic and programmatic footprints. Clients include Oxfam International, Amnesty International, Plan International, Save the Children, Childfund Australia, Fred Hollows Foundation and Catholic Relief Services.
Morgana and James have been collaborating since 2008, sharing commercial and development sector experiences to produce practical research papers focused on NGO performance. The first of these was published in 2013 in “Building a Better International NGO”.
Morgana holds a first-class honours degree in Economics from Monash University at Clayton, Australia.
