Group Operations & It Director
London, United Kingdom
At CU I have a unique opportunity to develop and deploy systems and processes capable of running a £100m+, multi-site, pan-European business, drawing on my extensive technical and software development experience combined with board level management responsibility for running both logistics and inventory management in a diverse, rapidly growing distribution business, where change and complexity of requirement is the norm! Never a dull moment.Responsible for the needs analysis, technical software development, implementation and deployment of a full suite of Oracle technology based ERP systems, covering all the standard ledgers you’d expect, but also including complex inventory management systems for both own and Vendor managed inventory (VMI) / customer consigned inventory scenarios, as well as multi-site warehouse management system (WMS), including comprehensive 3PL integration. My technical ethos being bridging the gap between “theoretical” development concepts and approaches and an empathetic, pragmatic approach resulting in rapidly deployed system solutions that are robust, scalable and most importantly that “work” for the user base.I love the challenge of simplifying complex needs, improving efficiency, adapting to change and implementing standardised process across the group, working closely with both my own teams, teams across the business and outside of the business , routinely interfacing with key suppliers, customers and vendors.
