Experience

Enabling teams and individuals is one of my passions.  I see my role as bringing people on the journey, providing the tools, resources and situational awareness for growth - built on trust and clear communication. 

Focus and results driven for the P&L.  I believe in win-wins and have an ability to manage complexity across a broad range of commercial contexts and cultures, having worked in local and global companies - majority publicly listed.

Identifying, engaging and wining the hearts of trade customers and consumers requires different approaches, and I've done both.  I'm a 'product person' at heart and my decades of experience in sales & marketing helps navigate the most efficient path for the complex markets we live in.

In my opinion, people buy products, trust brands and value relationships.  Having a technical background helps me quickly understand the technology and process behind products.  Whether it's a product development process or consumer-centric product management, I understand what's required.

Growing-up with a manufacturing background and specialising in sales & distribution has given me broad experience in manufacturing, warehouse operations and the supply chain.  Sales, Inventory & Operations Planning (SIOP) are critical for efficient operation and profitability.

More recently, during COVID-19 I have been able to undertake M&A involving Australian operated businesses as part of a global group.  Every acquisition is different , but the most important part is being able to understand and articulate the strategic fit at the outset.
