An energetic and innovative continuous Improvement practitioner, who is quality-minded, results focused, customer-centric with extensive senior manufacturing leadership experience from diverse industries, who is passionate about business excellence by equipping people & processes to achieve their full potential, always keeping the customer (internal and external) front of mind. One of my core strengths is operational excellence through manufacturing innovation and changing mindsets. I've had the opportunity over 20+ years to learn and successfully deploy operational excellence principles, working cross-functionally with sales, supply chain, engineering & R&D teams which has resulted in cost improvement, process improvement and staff engagement. My passion for operational excellence using Lean tools and methodology has helped drive sustained continuous improvement and financial performance at many companies. My “people centred” approach is to engage the ongoing support and commitment of people at all levels through effective Lean leadership and to facilitate inclusive problem-solving cultures long term. Career achievements show a strong track record in helping clients to lead, plan and execute change - delivering greater customer satisfaction, world class quality, higher margins, revenue growth, cost management and more efficient use of capital and internal talent.
