For over two decades, Kerry has led high-impact reforms across education, health, and insurance, guiding government organisations and statutory authorities through transformation with intelligence, integrity, and a strong commitment to stakeholder engagement.

Most recently, Kerry spent three transformative years as Chief Executive of the Education Standards Board in SA, where she led a major organisational renewal in response to a Royal Commission, uplifted regulatory capability and professionalism, and embedded a principles-based approach to decision-making. Under her leadership, the Board rebuilt trust with the sector, strengthened compliance outcomes and modernised its regulatory approach with regulated entities.

Kerry is the South Australian Chapter Chair for the National Regulators Community of Practice.
