An accomplished Executive with extensive experience in strategy setting, driving business process improvements and generating sustainable growth potential within operational functions in the construction, building materials and automotive industries. A value-adding professional that translates operational strategies into tangible results, I have overhauled underperforming businesses, implemented strategic operational frameworks and performance indicators and executed multiple business models, re-energising businesses, strengthening customer and competitor relationships and driving down costs. I have project managed the end-to-end integration of businesses into one organization, implemented risk management and quality frameworks and unified “silo” operations into centralised functions. I also led the development of strategic purchasing activities on a national basis and continually secured best value energy and alternative fuel options reducing energy costs, carbon emissions and material costs.Across my varied roles, I have had the opportunity to manage diverse business areas including Site Operations, Purchasing, Safety, HR, Sales, Logistics, Finance, Engineering and Technical Support across disparate locations and sites. Leveraging my technical expertise I have proactively identified opportunities to mitigate business risk and embed a commercially strategic approach to all operations that has maximised resource efficiency, streamlined processes and driven fiscal profitable growth. Strengths: stakeholder support in innovative and large change initiatives around M&As; operational infrastructure; OHSE initiatives; financial accountability; strengthening governance frameworks. My career features strong program, project, budget and management experience, financial governance and compliance and quality assurance.
