Having moved on from Autocue Group Ltd, I was approached by EPIC Private Equity to run one of their latest acquisitions, Driver Require Ltd, a specialist driver recruitment firm based in Hertfordshire. The strategy was to rapidly grow the company through geographic expansion. I immediately set about implementing an aggressive growth plan, opening 3 new.

I was approached by EPIC Private Equity and Root Capital to turn around Autocue Ltd, which had just been acquired from administration. One year later I had returned the company to a stable profitable position. By the end of the second year I had orchestrated the development and launch of a unique new product (QBox & QScript) that delivered sustainable.

I resigned from Gemini to co-found Norwood Systems, a hi-tech wireless telecoms start-up, together with an INSEAD classmate. The idea was to revolutionise the fixed-mobile convergence market for the enterprise sector.

I was headhunted by Gemini to work in their Information Management Discipline as a Supply Chain and Logistics SAP system specialist on a project in Geneva. During this time I was also a key contributor to the development of the Cap Gemini Group Concurrent Transformation service offering.Following a sabbatical to study an MBA at INSEAD, I returned to Gemini.

I was selected to join a multinational project team based in The Netherlands to develop an SAP solution for Mobil Oil's European operations. I became a supply chain and logistics expert and was subsequently drafted into a pan-European change management project based in the UK, led by Gemini Consulting.When the design phase was concluded I joined.

I started out as a Junior Buyer, buying garage and service station equipment for the Retail Division. I was then promoted to buy chemicals for Coryton Refinery and the Birkenhead blending plant.
