My career has been based upon a variety of progressively complex leadership and managerial positions. My
foundation stems from successfully turning around small to medium businesses within the Oil and Gas / Manufacturing
industries. I have built on this foundation with outstanding performance as a turnaround manager. I have vast
experience in managing the performance of multiple teams in exceptionally demanding, uncertain and complex
environments. In these environments my decision-making skills has led to tangible and significant results. The tenets
of my leadership are my ability to maintain moral and motivation, to manage resources and to achieve focused
results. A notable strength has been my ability to critically assess an unfamiliar work environment, identify areas for
improvement and successfully tailor a strategy to meet the specific needs of the business.
