✦ Building Businesses & Growing Reputations ✦During a truly global career, I have specialised in managing and growing businesses to add bottom line value whilst simultaneously focusing on regulatory compliance and reputation management. Under my direction, BP’s corporate brand expanded and a world class reputation was acquired in vital areas such as corporate social responsibility and environmental compliance, with the company’s position on climate change strengthening significantly. I have grown businesses in BP and Vivo Energy and spent 5 years as an energy trader and manager of traders.✦ Integrity & Authority ✦Having navigated both large and small organisations through periods of change and uncertainty, including as a Board Member for Macmillan Cancer Support during a global pandemic, I have had to make some difficult decisions. Balancing the often conflicting needs and priorities of key stakeholders, I bring both integrity and authority to the decision making process and am respected for my ability to obtain buy-in at both C-Suite and grass roots levels. ✦ Cultural Sensitivity ✦In my corporate career, I worked around the world for multinational businesses operating throughout the US, Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe. This has required cultural awareness and sensitivity as well as an understanding of how to engage people from the most diverse backgrounds, whether they were employees, customers or other stakeholders.✦ Leader, Mentor & Advisor ✦As a leader of cross-functional, multinational teams, my focus has always been on supporting, motivating and inspiring others to enable them to fulfil their potential and deliver their best performance. I enjoy mentoring others, particularly sharing my broad business expertise with other board members or employees to facilitate the achievement of shared goals. An expert in providing strategic oversight, underpinned by strong customer centricity and an instinct for identifying ways to drive down costs, I am open to exploring different ideas and organisations.
