As the Director of the Life Safety & Security Services as well as Building Product Services I am responsible for the growth and continued diversification of the suite of testing, auditing and certification services that Intertek offers. I am responsible for the overall positioning of the services with internal stakeholders (engineering, operations, marketing, risk/legal, certifications, and sales) and external stakeholders (customer, AHJ’s, trade associations and our shareholders). My ultimate goal/responsibility is to be the “glue” that holds all of these stakeholders together to provide a seamless delivery model which falls within our scope of accreditations.
