I am a General Manager with more than 25 years’ of experience driving and tailoring strategic and operational business transformation and revenue growth in C-Suite leadership roles and as a valued business adviser in the sporting sector.This has involved working collaboratively with key stakeholders, such as National Sporting Organisations, University staff, local and state football administration bodies, community clubs, regional schools, local councils, and various service and charitable organisations, to implement and monitor safeguarding policies, processes, and procedures. In addition to building and nurturing trusted stakeholder relationships, my highly developed commercial acumen and strong leadership and communication skills have played a key role in my success in managing and mentoring high-performing teams and preparing and presenting high-quality written material ranging in content and complexity. Throughout my career, I have maintained a practical understanding and knowledge of safeguarding in sport policy and practice, including member protection, child safeguarding, complaint, discipline, and dispute management. This has proved to be crucial, particularly in relation to leading businesses through crisis management, providing high-quality support to manage complaints and disputes, and supporting safeguarding activities and other strategic projects.Combining high-level strategic thinking and strong analytical skills with excellent organisation and time management has also enabled me to effectively prioritise work, meet deadlines within short timeframes, and manage and resolve a broad range of complex business-critical issues.
