Founder + Managing Director
Haley is exactly the kind of consultant you want on your team. She nurtures professional and personal relationships with great care. The result? An enviable and diverse network of leaders and influencers who work collaboratively with H^CK to get results for our clients.
Haley is equal parts pragmatist and perfectionist. She’s a sought-after advisor in highly regulated industries like health, biotechnology and finance, with a balance of start-up, not-for-profit and social impact clients on the books too.
Her core discipline is strategic communication, an umbrella term for branding, communication, marketing, public relations, crisis management and more. She cut her teeth as a TV journalist, climbed the ladder in agencies and has managed the full suite of communications in-house too — hence, she’s a trusted executive advisor.
Be it a project, event or people, Haley supports all the moving parts with skill and sensitivity. This gives her a rare flair for building meaningful corporate stories — the kind that people remember and are proud to share. In simple terms, she invests a lot of love in her work.
Haley has undergraduate degrees in Business and Journalism from The Queensland University of Technology (QUT), with other post-graduate qualifications too. In her younger years, Haley was School Captain and DUX of both primary school and secondary school. She exhibits the same commitment to excellence and team spirit in business today, with an unwavering commitment to inspire, rally and smile. Dangerously optimistic!
She was named after Halley’s Comet and according to her mum, she’s been embracing life at the speed of light ever since. Why? These days, to make more time for her sons Frank and Louis — who are delightful, strawberry-blonde best friends.
