I manage the UK's operational and surplus property portfolio, including the acquisition, disposal and lifetime management of UK property interests in alignment with the strategic plan.I’ve worked within large matrixed organisations; driving strategic direction and building and engaging effective teams. Leadership and C-Suite teams have recognised the energy and new ideas I bring to a group; I like to see changes through to successful implementations. I value the contribution of each and every team member and I firmly believe leaders should always make time for their teams, to coach and mentor, unblock issues and help team members perform to the best of their abilities.In supplier relationships I’ve always sought to establish trust and become a partner, I’ve been told I’m “great to work with yet demanding” which I agree is a fair reflection. I don’t settle for mediocracy; I believe good can be the enemy of great and that we should strive to do our best within the time available. I achieve efficiency because I avoid getting caught in the detail. Instead, I like to understand the bigger picture and core concept.Being able to explain things in straightforward language is essential for bringing others with you. I prefer to not use buzzwords, jargon or abstract concepts. I believe in being honest with people, even where that means being direct, ideally in a compassionate manner.I’m ambitious and quickly understand how things work and what can be done in an improved or more efficient way. I like to apply this insight to pressing business problems, measure benefits and see the changes through.I am a friendly, outgoing and passionate person. I get my energy from working with others – I like to build strong relationships with those I’m working with and would describe myself as a ‘people person’. Most of the people I've worked with appreciated my consultative approach which complements my decisive, action orientated and outcomes focused nature.
