Laurie Weeks
Senior Account Manager
Career and education background:
I have spent over 10 years playing professional Rugby Union, representing QLD, Melbourne, and Australia. After retiring in 2018 I worked in membership sales and then moved on to my first recruitment gig in Accounting and Finance. I’m currently completing my Masters in Sports Management at La Trobe University and have joined Talenza as NSW Government Account Manager!
What I’m passionate about:
I’m passionate about getting to know people and connecting with them. I love being able to get outdoors and get back to nature - think multi-day hikes through the wilderness! On the weekend you can find me bushwalking, coaching rugby, or walking my miniature dachshund, Pippa.
What you can call me for:
For anything technology, digital, and transformation related within the NSW Government. But I’m always free for a chat, no matter what the topic!
Two facts about me:
- I was once challenged to a wrestling match by a local wrestler (claimed he was the local champion) in a bar in Cuba.
- I swam with sharks off the coast of Durban, South Africa…. without a cage or a net!
