Chartered Mechanical Engineer with extensive Operations/Project Leadership experience. Accomplished in governance of complex coincident projects with varying scopes, timelines and commercial formats.

Expertise extends to Business Development/Sales, Consultancy and Business Transformation.On a more personal level.......I believe that success cannot be achieved and maintained without hard work and attention to the business concerned. This requires close contact with the teams/people, knowledge of the business and focus upon the correct detail. I look for truly smart PIs and KPIs, exploiting data that pinpoint attention, not just all the data that can hide the wood from the trees - after all, if you can’t measure it, you can’t control it! I am an intuitive person with high emotional intelligence and superb interpersonal skills. I enjoy the role and challenge of leadership, but also recognise that excellent leaders need excellent teams to work with them. Mentoring, directing, supporting, motivating and maintaining good discipline are part and parcel of the leader’s role in my opinion. Great communication is also essential, whether written, spoken or felt, from the way a leader dresses to the way in which peers and subordinates are treated. Getting the right culture is as important as getting the right people. I would want a positive team who know what they have to achieve and how to get there. Plus, it’s OK to have some fun on the way – we all need to enjoy what we do and who we do it with......
