About

A senior executive with a proven track record working in small and medium sized businesses in both domestic and international positions. Experience gained working in a diverse range of countries, production systems, cultures, political and economic conditions has enabled me to develop an ability to quickly visualize situations, identify and establish strategic and operational plans. I have been able to deliver commercial outcomes by engaging and energizing large teams in operational excellence which can be applied across a broad range of agriculture and manufacturing industries. As a highly motivated, commercially focused, innovative and strategic thinker with an emphasis on clearly defining and articulating opportunities, I can further enhance management breadth, experience and depth.
