About Kylie

A results oriented Senior Human Resources Leader with over two decades of experience across both strategic and operational HR functions. Currently, I serve as the General Manager People & Culture at Chemist Warehouse, where I have a proven track record of designing and implementing cost-effective HR initiatives that significantly enhance employee capability, engagement, and overall organisational performance. I am currently supporting the merger of Chemist Warehouse and Sigma Healthcare—an incredible opportunity for our business, our customers, and for me personally as an HR practitioner. Being part of such a transformative moment is both a privilege and a professional highlight.

My expertise spans Employee Relations, Organisational Development, Change Management, and Leadership Coaching. Throughout my career, I have led HR functions for renowned organisations including Westpac Group, Bank of Melbourne, Jetstar Airways, Coles, and AGL Energy. I have been instrumental in driving key HR projects such as workforce optimisation, organisational redesign, and employee engagement programs. My contributions have been acknowledged through honours such as the CEO Recognition and the Community Hero Award for work on environmental initiatives. I am passionate about fostering high-performing cultures and navigating complex HR challenges. I look forward to sharing insights and experiences at this event, offering practical perspectives on creating and sustaining high-performance cultures in dynamic business environments.
