Administration and Payroll
Previously I was a merchandiser in East Gippsland Victoria, at the Bairnsdale and Sale stores for just over 2 years.
I love travelling and on most weekends spend my time going on adventures with my family. The outdoors and nature base activities are where I spend most of free time.

National Business Development Manager
I have been working for FIT since 2014. I've seen the growth from the start to now, being a mid to large sized company.
I have worked in supermarkets and other retail sectors for the past 24 years, so I bring loads of expertise in leading managers, planning, evaluating, budgeting, and field training.
I love working with a brilliant and talented team, thinking outside of the square to achieve great results.
My job here is to bring in new business and ensure we retain them and expand their reach in retail outlets.
When not on work time, I'll be at the footy with the kids, camping, at the beach, or just working on the house extension. Me time has me out on the motorbike for a spin, as well as enjoying the VIC scenery.
I'm a true Hawthorn supporter, following them each round, and I also attend a few gym sessions.
Sales and Merchandising Specialist
As a seasoned professional in the field of Sales and Merchandising, I bring a wealth of expertise to our clients. My focus is on providing insightful Business Solutions, customised Sales Staff, and innovative and creative Merchandisers and Installers across a variety of retail industries. With a deep understanding of consumer behaviour and market trends, I excel in developing effective strategies to drive sales growth and enhance brand visibility.
When I'm not conjuring merchandising magic, you'll find me perfecting the art of comedic timing. Yes, I moonlight as an aspiring stand-up comedian. Telling jokes and making people laugh is my secret weapon in keeping those creative juices flowing. After all, a little laughter adds spice to the retail universe and makes every shopping experience a memorable one.
NSW Full-Time Merchandiser
I started off as a Casual at FIT Merchandising about 7 months ago. I am now a Full-Time Merchandiser. I bring to the company, all team members, and clients my support, patience, time, and loyalty to make sure I do the best I can and to grow with my team. Making sure our clients are happy and products are in-store, clean, and tidy.
When it comes to the weekend, I love spending as much time with my 6 year old son as I don't get to spend much time with him throughout the week. I also love my music and my animals. When I get time to myself, I like going for drives or colouring in.
NSW Team Leader
As a Team Leader with FIT, my role varies from team training, new store fit-outs, store calls, and assisting the State Manager in supporting our merchandisers and suppliers.
When I am not working, I am enjoying family time with my fiancé, David, and our two children, Isla (4 years old) and Angus (5 months). We often go on camping holidays as we enjoy being by the water. In my free time, I love to be outdoors working in my garden.
QLD Representative
I commenced with Fit in 2020, firstly with the assembly team and then moving into my current position within Fit. My role is to support my State Manager, Aaron, and assist with merchandising, assembly, and tactical projects. I also make sales calls to independent retail outlets. I love the variety my role brings and enjoy building relationships in-store. I am told that chatting with staff in the retail outlets should be a hobby; I’m so good at it.
My passion is my car, which keeps me broke and living at home at 21, but she's well worth it. I love to attend car shows and take images of my car to show on my Instagram page, stylo_g6e. I am active in the car community. I have a cat called Bella, and we call her the 'terrorist' as she's super destructive.
SA, WA and Alice Springs State Manager
I commenced with FIT in 2021, firstly with the assembly team and then moving into my current position within FIT. I bring a wealth of retail experience to the role that allows me to coach, motivate, and inspire my team.
Outside of work, I am a massive sports fan, sorry, not AFL or Rugby League. To keep fit, I like to walk and bike ride. Spending time with family, whether it's dinner, games, or going out on Sunday morning for coffee, is very important to me. To relax, I like to read and binge-watch TV shows.
QLD, Northern NSW and NT State Manager
I started with FIT around 2016, where I predominantly helped with the refit/tactical side of the business. Over the course of several years, I merchandised in multiple stores while also coordinating and completing small and large projects within Bunnings.
I am now the State Manager for QLD, Northern NSW, and the NT, managing around 30 merchandisers, on top of also coordinating tactical projects.
I am committed to working closely with our clients to help achieve goals and to implement mechanisms that drive sales and growth as a team.
During my free time I like to keep fit (whether that be lifting weights or other cardio activities), play 8 ball, not kill my bonsai, and play video games.
National Projects Coordinator
I started with FIT in 2021 as a Merchandiser after being with Dynamic Sales for 3 years. I then moved on to projects with Paul in 2022. I have been running my own Speakers Bureau since 1997 and have had experiences during that time running the business that I bring to Fit Projects. I am committed to growing the project side of Fit with Pete and look forward to what the future holds.
In my downtime, I like fishing and camping, the occasional round of golf, and movies. I also enjoy the beach, the snow, and the bush. I am an avid reader and a serious crime podcast enthusiast.
Office Administrator
After graduating from high school in 2019 and transitioning into university, I worked as a Social Media Administrator for two years and found that I was very equipped in everything admin! Later in 2021, I began my journey with FIT as an Office Administrator. Since then, I have had the privilege of learning various aspects of the business and the people who make FIT great!
My role is all about supporting staff in preparing and completing their various roles and responsibilities. I have also had the opportunity to receive workplace development on behalf of FIT in the form of a Business Diploma. FIT leaders are incredibly supportive of workplace development.
A typical weekend for me looks like relaxing and soaking up the sun with my beautiful, one-eyed Shih Tzu x Maltese, Buddy. Who also acts as my study buddy, ‘working’ with me since I entered university in 2020 and watching my journey across my undergraduate’s degree in psychology and presently as I work toward graduating with my Masters in social work.
Executive Assistant
Initially, my working career started in Accounts Receivable in manufacturing. After 12 years, I moved into Contracts Administration in the mining exploration sector. During that time, I had the opportunity to spend 12 months in Papua New Guinea training PNG Nationals in Contracts Admin and Procurement. For the last 10 years, I have been in Personal Assistant/Executive Assistant roles, working predominantly in FMCG with high-level executives. In March 2022, I moved back to Queensland, continuing to work remotely until I started at Fit Merchandising, assisting Dale and Julie in September 2022 as their Executive Assistant.
Reading, swimming, and walking are my relaxation tools. I am crazy scared of heights. I love traveling and immersing myself in different cultures, languages, food, and music (even though I am tone deaf).
National Client Services Manager
I commenced working at FIT Merchandising in Feb 2023, firstly to manage assembly services and oversee the team. Since then, I have moved to incorporate the CSM role, looking after our top-tier clients. My background is in Account Management, so this brings a skill set that thrives in client management relationships – building a strong partnership and developing avenues for a successful alliance.
I am an avid fan of archery, fishing, and all outdoor activities, sometimes doing the occasional round of clay targets. An interesting fact is I am ambidextrous in most sporting activities, but not that good at any!
HR Business Partner
I play a key role in actively consulting and supporting the FIT team to optimise the performance of our people and achieve results using pragmatic and best practice HR solutions. I am genuinely passionate about helping people and fostering a positive and collaborative team culture.
I was born in Argentina and can speak fluent Spanish and English.
Outside of work, I love spending time with family, friends, my beautiful sausage dog called Louie, and eating lots of food!
Founder & Managing Director
With a strong emphasis on nurturing connections between wholesalers and retailers, I have accumulated over three decades of invaluable industry experience. Throughout my career, I have successfully led high-performance teams while working with renowned brands in Australia and New Zealand. Additionally, I am privileged to serve on the Board of eight other businesses, where I contribute valuable insights and drive continuous innovation.
I am deeply passionate about health, fitness, and nurturing a growth mindset in both business and personal relationships. Committed to continuous learning, I invest in myself and the FIT team to foster stronger business partnerships.
