As a driven and highly competitive person I enjoy the responsibility and pressure that comes with being responsible for the sales and marketing function at Fero. With my background in Operations Management, I bring a unique mix of both people skills and the ability to stand back and find solutions to even the most complex logistics/organisational problems. I am passionate about New Zealand business and focused on seeing the manufacturing sector succeed on the global stage. Every day I enjoy seeing a small country like New Zealand complete on the world stage creating products and solutions that are truly innovative and punch well above our weight as a nation of only 4 million people.I take an important role in both creating and maintaining relationships with key suppliers and manufacturers in China, and have an excellent grasp on how to do business in China. I visit China at least three times a year as part of this process, and work with our partners to deliver best in class wiring solutions for our customers, mixing on-shore and off-shore supply. If you’re interested in talking more about Fero, or indeed NZ manufacturing, or perhaps the range of flexible on-shore and off shore manufacturing solutions that we offer our clients, then please email me, or call me.Outside of work, I love the great outdoors and all that New Zealand offers. As a keen sailor I am often invited to crew for races throughout New Zealand and Europe. As a skier, I try to get out onto the slopes at least three times and year, and look forward to teaching my daughter to ski in the next few years.Summary Experience:Supply Chain Management; Manufacturing; Key Account Management; Operation Management; Business Development; Logistics; Purchasing; Team Leadership; Marketing Strategy; Press Relations; Entrepreneurship;
