I started out as an industrial engineer, giving me an understanding of the interaction of people and processes and learning to motivate those I had no authority over

Moving to Shell I was promoted to full P&L responsibility for a £150 million business (growing revenues 40% in one year)

Following INSEAD and the classic three years in consulting at the Boston Consulting Group, I worked for GE and Pepsi, based in the US, driving change in Supply chain, Strategy and Marketing, across all the businesses including JV’s in India, China and Mexico

In between I turned around a UK retailer and then returned to the UK to head up a business for De La Rue

Having honed my skills and experience in over twenty years’ blue chip experience I have since worked in a wide range of businesses as an interim manager and independent consultant - producing very rapid results, but ones that are sustained beyond the end of my assignment. These are typically improvements in performance (revenue and profitability) and in organisational effectiveness for a variety of ownership models
