Over the years it has acquired an impressive multinational client base and developed highly sophisticated software to manage the complexities, of a growing, service driven organisation.14 years ago, following the successful growth of Australia, we launched in Manila, in the Philippines. It has been immensely successful, largely due to the efforts of our talented CEO for Asia, Angeli Amante.Our company in The Philippines now shares numerous clients with our Australian business.So we have created the Convido Network to clarify our branding and differentiate us from smaller, copycat operators. We intend to create/buy/partner with, businesses in other cities around the world and particularly in Asia/Pacific.The Convido brand is growing in awareness in the industry, while providing a powerful marketing platform for our current business, our alliance partners and future operations in new geography.The accommodation industry is very dynamic and ever changing. Corporate clients are demanding. They want cost effectiveness with employee safety comfort together with data security. That is what Convido gives, with responsive client service, leading edge cloud-based systems and most importantly....wonderful apartments. Show less

Major improvements in volume, profit and market share achieved by making changes to the structure and culture of the company.Brands were strengthened by effective advertising and marketing, combined with meaningful innovation.New systems and forecasting procedures, together with a major logistics review resulted in inventory reductions driving reduced working capital and operating costs.Some factory closures were required.

Puerto Rico

Another fix assignment where I was required to arrest a rapid decline in market share and profit.Succeeded.

Madrid Area, Spain

Managed a diverse portfolio of brands, manufacturing technologies and distribution channels. Including Green Giant canned and frozen vegetables, Haagen Dazs ice cream, Desobry cakes, Old El Paso Mexican foods.Focused on brands, innovated, eliminated over-head.Led a talented team located in numerous European countries.

United Kingdom

Turned a loss making food division into a high return business at a time when brands where coming under pressure from grocery trade concentration and private label growth in the UK.No secret...have a high quality product, don't give it to private label, promote it effectively.
