I am a highly accomplished, entrepreneurial and visionary Managing Director, Business Consultant and Commercial Strategist, offering over 20 years of international exposure across multiple global markets, guiding SMEs to develop and execute new strategies that support their growth ambitions. Over the course of my career, I have been instrumental in improving business processes to deliver significant cost savings and profitability / revenue increases, whilst rapidly understanding commercial and financial data to guide executive decision making. I am recognised as a trusted international director, and I have a proven track record in leading, mentoring and empowering multi-cultural, performance focused teams across multiple geographic locations to achieve project and commercial goals. In addition to my strong corporate and executive career, I have also worked with early stage businesses across technology, innovation, agriculture and automotive sectors, to help them in achieving growth and scale up. As such, I am keen to explore opportunities where I can help start-ups or early stage businesses as a Consultant. As I offer experience as both a leader and a consultant, I am able to quickly integrate and adapt to complex situations in various business environments. Furthermore, I am highly skilled in developing plans, roadmaps and goals using expert analytical skills to help start-up businesses address key deficiencies and opportunities. Notable Successes include: Transforming a global international company from a direct distribution into B2B2C distribution model. Creating a new platform for AGCO International to enable real-time visibility of spare parts availability and forecasting.
