13 July 2020 Consultancy.com.au

International management consultancy Nous Group has promoted a trio of its senior female consultants in Australia to Principal level.

All three new Principals have been with Nous Group for a number of years, and have earned their “well-deserved promotion” for their “demonstrated commitment to our clients and hard work”, said Tim Orton, Managing Director of the Melbourne-headquartered firm.

Stefie Hinchy

Brisbane-based Stefie Hinchy joined Nous Group in 2013 from Big Four firm PwC, and has since been part of the firm’s Education and Government practices. She has worked closely with university and government leaders to advise on policy across education, research, innovation and human services. 

Her project experience includes conducting cost-benefit analyses, working closely with universities to ensure their offerings are attractive for international students, advising government executives on higher education, vocational education and training (VET), international education, research and innovation, including policy proposals for successful cabinet submissions, and designing and implementing performance improvement initiatives at universities.

The third new Principal, Heidi Wilcoxon, is also based in Sydney. She brings some twenty years of experience in public, private and not-for-profit organisations in Australia, the UK and the Middle East to her new role. After relocating back to Australia late 2016, she joined Nous Group as a Director, and in the capacity focused on engagements in the healthcare space.

For one large health services provider, she led strategy planning, functional reviews and operating model design projects, and on another engagement, she health policy evaluations on cancer screening, GP training, and psychosocial support for people living with severe mental illness.
