As a high achieving, influential, hands-on Operations Director / General Manager, I have a strong background in the achievement of operational excellence in FMCG manufacturing organisations. Hands-on, pragmatic, and personable individual known for excellent leadership & people management. Skilled & experienced in building, developing and managing collaborative teams across all functional departments. Most of my career has been in operational and general management for UK and international FMCG companies. With 20 years experience in Operations Director & General Management. In my last role, I transformed a FMCG manufacturing division with over 1,250 team members. The role required a blend of tactical and strategic focus required in the high pressure, fast paced FMCG market. Led the turnaround of a division with low morale & high turnover. Successfully achieved a 50% reduction in staff turnover through an extensive change management program. I believe organisations need to be aligned around a common vision with clear goals & objectives from team members on the shop floor through to the leadership teams. Employees need to be engaged, informed, and have high morale, otherwise talent, skills and experience are wasted.
