My performance is grounded on knowledge, quality and trust. I am judged by how well I listen and understand clients and candidates, how I help companies hire the best talent, and how careers are driven forward.

There were others I hired locals for their operations in China, Indonesia, and Thailand. My mandate with each client almost always comprised multiple positions. Several Western MNCs worked with me for more than 10 years, over successive CEOs/MDs. I feel as comfortable filling a leadership role as I do a specialist role, a local assignment or a cross-border one, undertaking a billing or a filling function. I managed the country P&L and groomed my research team. I was the sole business development/ relationship management person for the entire 16 years with Boyden. Specialties: Mid to senior leadership and technical positions, at in-country and Apac levels, across multiple industries.
Joined start-up as replacement for incumbent Aussie GM and became its first Sales Manager. Worked with specifiers, state and federal water authorities, and national distributor network to introduce a new range of medium to large diameter water pipes. Collaborated with JH's SEAsia management team in Kuala Lumpur on overall business plan. Left amicably to revitalize the local office of a global executive search firm, building country team from scratch.

Began my sales career in project sales with Gadelius, a global Swedish engineering trading group, Grundfos Pumps Division. Two years in Malaysia, four in Brunei. Domiciled in Australia 1990-1994.
