With 30 years of experience across four continents, I have been involved in project building from inception to commercial viability, facing several challenges from government legislation to adapting to local customs, ensuring corporate governance standards are constantly met. I am seeking to join an organisation that I can support and expand, using my commercial experience running US$ multi-million companies, with particular expertise in Africa and Asia.
I have grown a reputation for building market share, revenue and profit to resolve commercial and operational obstacles in complex, evolving, and competitive markets. With a hands on approach to performance improvement, operational and quality management, I build relationships and provide leadership to achieve organisational excellence and cost efficiency.With 30 years of experience across four continents, I have been involved in project building from inception to commercial viability, facing several challenges from government legislation to adapting to local customs, ensuring corporate governance standards are constantly met.
