I have 20 years of experience across various industries to include some of the most demanding, which I use with my analytic skills and enthusiasm to transform legacy businesses.Focused on building strong leadership teams able to drive value and make change happen, I will strike the right balance between strategic vision and operational execution.I had the opportunity to step into leadership roles on multiple occasions to drive turn around strategies on otherwise failing businesses. Certainly one of my trademarks is my ability to identify, recruit and drive high performance teams putting people at the center of all endeavors.Curious and imaginative by nature, I will, in my quest for excellence, explore the most unconventional ideas while attending to deeply rooted work ethic. I will also go to great extent to ensure a vision is communicated to the entire organization with key milestones to be reached.Currently Managing Director for the Flow Control Safety Relief Valve subsidiary at Weir Group (£1.8 billion in revenue, 16,000 employees), I assume full P&L responsibility for the product line worldwide to include 3 manufacturing facilities and sales offices around the globe.I previously held a number of roles in Finance with a strategic and operational focus. One of my main successes led me to create a banking joint venture in North America which was credited to not only safeguarding the business but also contributing to its drastic expansion at the turn of the financial crisis.I grew up in Africa, spent over a decade in North America, and the last seven years doing business around the globe with a focus on Asia. I deeply enjoy working in multicultural setting and feel equally at home doing business in any country blending in any cultural settings.I also enjoy skiing and sailing, and play tennis competitively.
