Lilli is an Associate Partner in Executive Search in SHK’s Government & Public Policy practice. Having recently completed a Master’s in Human Geography at the University of Melbourne, she brings a strong understanding of how demographics and the connections between place, culture and environment shape outcomes for people. She has a particular interest in how these factors intersect with government, organisations, and institutions.
Lilli understands the importance of partnering with boards and leadership teams to attract and retain the best candidates in the market, while ensuring value-alignment is at the heart of all appointments. With experience in supporting and delivering diverse roles across state and local government and non-for-profit organisations, she continually demonstrates her genuine interest in bolstering leadership teams to enable impactful change. Lilli derives enormous satisfaction from cultivating strong relationships and is known for her exceptional candidate care.
During her recent Master’s exchange, Lilli completed a Political and Public Diplomacy Internship at the Australian Embassy in Copenhagen (accredited to Denmark, Norway and Iceland) within the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Prior to joining SHK, Lilli worked in Human Resources in the Tourism and Pharmacy industries. Her tourism experience includes working in the remote East Kimberley, Western Australia.
