Kirsten Dilena
About
An experienced General Counsel and Company Director with significant governance, compliance, commercial and contracting experience spanning 20 years. A proven track record of delivering commercial and legal outcomes for public and private-sector entities in infrastructure and transport, education, mining, Defence, technology, and construction industries. My unique value lies in combining my legal experience with strategically acquired practical commercial skills developed in non-legal roles within my chosen industries. I bring a long history of advising and delivering major infrastructure, capability, ICT and technology projects, as well as supporting executive leaders and boards members in the achievement of strategic organisational goals through development of pragmatic and implementable solutions.
I am adept at drafting and negotiating complex commercial contracts and procurement documentation, procurement strategy development, supplier relationship management and dispute resolution. Leveraging a leadership approach founded on ethics, integrity, and empathy, I thrive in enterprise-rich environments where I can distil and deconstruct complex legal requirements to communicate objectives to team members at all levels. I am passionate about learning, transferring knowledge and establishing cross-functional teams that are committed to making effective and innovative contributions to strategic programs.
