I'm offering
As a highly-motivated and customer focused leader, I have a proven track record in delivering sustained positive business and cultural change. I am an original thinker who is inventive, independent and extremely perceptive of the potential contained within the views of others. My strong grasp of business, project management and engineering principles has enabled me to work with a wide-range of teams, across a variety of organisations, from the board level to the shop floor. In both my professional and personal life I feel that what you do should be challenging and enjoyable. MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS ● Successfully led a newly formed multi-million pound business group through large scale transformation, keeping the delivery team engaged, operations safe and output levels high ● Transformed a culture from one that reacted to situations and change negatively, to one that now leads the way and drives change into the rest of the business ● Turned-around a major commercial aerospace engineering project from loss to profit making, through robustly managing client expectations and conducting a full review of the product value chain
