Tania joined Omni Bridgeway in 2007 when the dispute resolution finance industry was in its infancy and her experience is sought after by law firms and their clients.  As an Investment Manager for nine years, Tania personally managed a multi-million dollar investment portfolio consisting of a broad range of commercial disputes.

Tania then led the Australia-New Zealand operations as Chief Investment Officer - ANZ between 2019 - 2022.  In June 2022 Tania assumed the newly created position of Managing Director - Transformation.  In this role she leads strategic projects on behalf of the Board and Omni Bridgeway's leadership team.

Before joining Omni Bridgeway, Tania practised for 11 years as a commercial litigator in Sydney and London.
