bio

Anne is the founder and director of Pattillo. With over 30 years' experience in facilitation and consulting, she is a strategic thinker, an international leader in stakeholder engagement and a generous sponsor of artists.

Anne has become best known for her transformational work with leadership teams. There's nothing she loves more than working with leaders to reignite their energy, realign to purpose and galvanise them into action.

"I work best when I'm given a gnarly problem and then work with my clients to nut out a way forward. I love that."

Anne's restless desire to solve problems sees her work with leaders in government, corporate and NGOs sectors across Australia and New Zealand.

Anne is also recognised for her work as a leader in community engagement and the International Association of Public Participation (IAP2), including taking a central role in the design of the current IAP2 engagement frameworks and training.

We love art. but our commitment has been not to build a large art collection. It has been to work with the Sarjeant Gallery and the arts community of Whanganui to support the artist behind the art."

A purpose-driven leader in her own right, Anne's determination is to align organisations and their leaders to their higher purpose. "I like the thought that when I'm in my dotage, I'll be able to tell a story or two about how I helped someone solve a problem or create something with real purpose. My hope is that together we can tilt the world on its axis just a little bit, to a better place."
