Jane Algie, another noteworthy addition to the Director team, has been with Partners in Performance since 2017, serving as a Senior Associate. Algie has been instrumental in driving significant outcomes across various industries. Furthermore, she has initiated and led several initiatives within the ANZ region, particularly those related to women's networks, diversity and inclusion, and talent development programs. Her steadfast commitment to ethical leadership and organisational excellence is recognised and respected within the firm.
