OUR STAFF

Daiva Gillam has called the Pilbara home for more than 20 years. As CEO of RDA Pilbara and Councillor for the City of Karratha, she works closely with industry, government and community leaders to tackle the challenges and opportunities facing regional communities.

​

Passionate about our region, Daiva is a strong advocate for practical solutions that improve liveability, strengthen local economies and create opportunities for the people who call the Pilbara home. She is known for building partnerships, bringing people together around shared goals, and getting things done.

​

Over her career, Daiva has worked across a range of leadership and governance roles in both the public and private sectors. Her work has focused on regional advocacy, workforce development, economic growth and improving liveability across the Pilbara.

​

A graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, Daiva combines strong governance skills with practical leadership and a long-standing connection to our region.

Kris grew up in Queensland and relocated to the Pilbara with  her partner in 2022. She quickly connected with the strong sense of community in Karratha and now proudly calls it home.

​

With extensive experience in office administration and small business management, Kris brings a practical, community-focused approach to her work. She also volunteers on a board for a local not-for-profit organisation, reflecting her passion for grassroots involvement and giving back.

​

At RDA Pilbara, Kris coordinates the West Pilbara Communities for Children program, a place-based initiative that supports the wellbeing and development of local children and families.
