A track record of success in forging effective cross functional collaborative relationships that drive efficiencies through Integrated Business Planning and S&OP with the customer at the heart of every solution. Proven ability to develop and coach individuals into high performing focused teams.I can deliver efficiencies through collaboration:I am a business enabler focused on analysis and recommendations as a means of solving challenges. My continual improvement mindset is driven by Sir David Brailsford's idea of “the aggregation of marginal gains” in everything I do. Through analysis I break down the challenge by asking ‘why’ or ‘how could this be done better’ and then collaborate, via relationships I have forged, to find the best possible solution.I am a successful manager:I am a confident and empathetic team leader who is particularly passionate about coaching individuals so they can achieve more in their personal lives and for the business they work for. I'm also a confident, articulate, effective communicator with an honest, friendly outlook and a sense of humour.I have a customer focused mentality:My customer obsession mindset comes from my varied career working in B2B, D2C, high growth businesses, declining sectors - from both a supplier and client perspective.
