I have worked in large and small companies across a variety of business sectors, both UK and international, including financial services, public sector, news & media, IT software development through to general consulting.After initially training as a Company Secretary, I gained broad technical skills and experience in key business areas such as company law, investment finance, accounting, marketing, public relations, operations, project management, property and facilities management and procurement. However, it was whilst working for General Electric of America that I really developed my skills, up to Board level, and gained experience in transforming businesses in to lean and profitable organisations.An accomplished communicator, innovative and versatile professional, I am able to motivate people to achieve challenging results. A resourceful and creative problem solver, I am able to quickly evaluate, prioritise and address underperforming business aspects, then develop and implement practical recovery plans in competitive environments.Specialties: Business transformation, Six Sigma quality and process improvementCoaching & mentoringOrganisational change,Project and property managementOoperationsProcurement and contract management
