Background

About Simon Donald

Operations Manager with 16+ years of international experience delivering growth, safety, and performance improvements in high-pressure environments. Known for leading cross-functional teams, driving profitability turnarounds, and scaling operations without compromising quality or compliance. Directed multimillion-dollar plant shutdowns, reversed financial deficits into strong profits, and managed workforce expansions that aligned people, process, and purpose. My leadership style could be described as grounded in accountability, continuous learning, and collaboration across cultures and disciplines. During my current professional hiatus, I’m deepening my knowledge through self-study in Lean principles, CSCP (in progress), and business strategy to complement my operational experience. I’m passionate about driving sustainable performance and open to opportunities within collaborative, forward-thinking environments.
