My role as Managing Director of Stihl was an exciting, rewarding and challenging role. Leading this complex business with 600 independent retailers as customers and a team of over 150 people was filled with learning and inspiring moments, the leadership team and their ability to build a culture of co-operation and passion enabled us to achieve record results in staff engagement, staff tenure and year on year sales and profit growth.A key success factor was to start our journey to develop our cultural footprint – “We Are Orange”. This cultural transformation ensured that our staff had a clear understanding of our vison, our values and how we operate with our customers and each other. This platform ensured we worked together to achieve our business results. In 2014 we were an AON Hewitt Employee best employer award finalist and in 2015-16 we were at 85%-90% engagement in the AON Hewitt survey.I loved the opportunity to join this global giant in the tools category where I learnt the complexity of working in a truly global, matrixed organisation.I am most proud of the fact that Stihl is now a retail centric, customer focused organisation delivering value to customers and consumers alike.Internally, when I left the organisation the leadership team and changed from 100% male to a 50%/50% male and female and our sales team from 0% women to 35% women. Gender diversity and inclusion are key to a successful business

As Director Sales and Marketing my challenge was to arrest the decline in Australia’s worst retail environment in 3 decades. Through the appointment of a strong team, development of a clear vision and a customer centric approach we were able to increase revenue by over 20%, nearly double our dealer network and develop effective marketing campaigns which delivered financial results.In this role I worked closely with the retiring CEO and the global team to develop the 2010 – 2015 strategic plan. This is the plan that I implemented in my role as Managing Director.

As General Manager I Ied a team of 289 driving the sales and marketing strategy across this $1.2 billion business in a very competitive and complex industry. During my time at Coates I drove the full rebranding of the organisation after the merger with National Hire and transformation from a public to privately held company. I was also responsible for the transition of sales teams through the re-structure and re-alignment of the field sales force, I launched new products, into new markets and geographies, and achieved sales growth 15% above our nearest competitor in the tough economic environment post GFC. In this role I learnt the importance of leadership and how to inspire large teams.In addition to my role as General Manager I was a core member of the integration team during the complex merger between Coates Hire and National Hire

I was with Crown for 14 years and this is where I learnt all about sales and marketing. As an extremely successful American company they had best in class training, development and onboarding disciplines. I thrived in this entrepreneurial, high pressure environment. It was an environment that created high performance teams, high performance people and a culture of live and die by the sword.The culture also rewarded hard work and skill by providing opportunities for advancement and growth. As I am a self-motivated and driven individual it was an amazing culture for me. My entrepreneurial flair developed here.
