CEO, Maritime Industry Australia Ltd
Angela has been at the helm of Maritime Industry Australia Ltd (MIAL), the national peak body representing Australian shipping and the broader maritime sector, since 2022.
Angela is known for her strong advocacy on behalf of industry to strengthen and safeguard Australia’s maritime capability and security, which played a key role in the Albanese Government’s introduction of its strategic fleet initiative following the last election.
Angela has participated in landmark domestic industry policy reform programs and represented the Australian industry at international forums, such as the International Chamber of Shipping, and as industry adviser to the Australian delegation to the International Maritime Organisation.
Angela is a member of many critical government-industry liaison committees, including the Defence’s Australian Maritime Defence Council, the Australian Maritime Safety Authorities’ Shipping Consultative Forum, National Safety Committee, and the National Plan Strategic Industry Advisory Forum. Angela was a core appointee to the Albanese Government’s Strategic Fleet Taskforce and is currently Chair of Industry Skills Australia’s Maritime Strategic Workforce Planning Committee.
Angela is staunchly apolitical in her approach to government relations and strongly committed to collaborating with all relevant stakeholders towards the common goal of safeguarding Australia’s sovereignty, economy and security by creating a strong, sustainable maritime nation.
