Strategic and commercial management experience gained over my career has given me a comprehensive understanding of the issues and pressures faced by both public and private commercial organisations trying to provide a service in the current economic situation; whilst improving performance and changing the management culture to recognise the realities we are facing in the future. I have expertise in strategy formulation, specification, appraisal and management of large, high-value contracts, and the consequent changes required by staff by continually challenging the commercial viability of these services and their management structures in the all my assignments. My breadth of experience from across various sectors up and down the UK affords a unique perspective on the commerciality of public sector provision in the difficult economic climate experienced since the onset of the financial crises.
