senior innovation leader / experienced mentor & coachAfter 25 years of successful product development and senior leadership, I still find myself excited and engaged every day. Each new product and industry gives me the opportunity to uncover creative new ways to positively impact people's lives, and bring about transformation. I have an empathic and motivational leadership style, and I have a proactive approach to building long lasting relationships, and I have repeatedly demonstrated this leadership style, across all levels of business.Comprehensive global experience in: • leading cross-functional teams • driving company strategy & organisation • product development & portfolio management • innovation strategy • bringing ideas to market • product management & launchEarlier in my career, as I transitioned from a Engineer to Leader, my focus evolved to enabling, empowering, and developing high performing teams. I fundamentally believe that structure, coupled with an ability to get hands dirty, has been elemental in the success that I enjoy. Accordingly, this involves a deep knowledge in developing processes, procedures, methodologies and providing high worth feedback. It also involves demonstrable technical and strategic acumen, complemented by expertise in creating business solutions that boost efficiency, drive cost-savings and optimise operational growth.I have a deeply ingrained commitment to the customer and product; I stay focused on ensuring alignment between the strategic needs of the business, and the teams around that strategy, while ensuring that the customer remains at the centre - allowing customers to become enabled and empowered in ways not achieved previously.I am genuinely inspired and energised by the opportunity to build new relationships, add strategic value to the business and ensure my teams are set up for success, and I believe in bold execution with clear vision, relentless perseverance, and transparent accountability.
