Alice is a highly accomplished communications advisor with over a decade of experience financial services, technology, insurance, manufacturing and independent education.

Alice joined H/Advisors in Sydney from the London office, where she led and contributed to strategic communications and policy mandates for a wide portfolio.  She also led global accounts and coordinated with teams and clients across America and Europe.

Alice has strong experience working with independent schools to navigate negative complex stakeholder relations, public perception, crises and political pressures. In the UK, this included helping to establish the Schools Enterprise Association and advising large schools and associations on public affairs engagement and key positioning in a more scrutinising climate.

Prior to H/Advisors, Alice focused on advising listed clients on strategic communications and investor relations. She played a key role in several significant corporate initiatives, including IPOs and fundraisings. Noteworthy successes include supporting a £90 million capital raise for an AIM-listed oil and gas company, a £100 million raise for a FTSE 100 construction company, and listing some of the first medical cannabis companies on the London market.
