About Diresh de Silva

I am a management professional with a passion for workplace safety and compliance. I strive to influence a safety first culture that makes our workplace a safe environment for staff, customers and business partners alike. Prior to taking on the role of WHS manager, I managed various large teams in the fast paced, high pressure logistics function with overall over 10+ years in logistics. I am always on the lookout for ways to improve productivity, efficiency and profitability for the business in whichever function I am placed.In my current role, I lead and manage all aspects of business risk and compliance by identifying and assessing risks, advising and influencing key stakeholders and business partners on best practice, and implementing compliant procedures. With nearly a decade in leadership roles, I have developed many skills including project management, people management, risk and compliance management, budgeting and forecasting and most importantly staying in control under pressure.
