About

With over 20 years of leadership experience in production, logistics, and operations, I’ve consistently delivered strong result, while leading with a calm, people-focused management style. I’ve successfully built and led organizations from the ground up, including greenfield projects, and driving both strategic and hands-on improvements across complex environments. Now, as my family and I embark on a new chapter in New Zealand, I’m looking forward to applying my experience in a new context.Embracing the challenges and opportunities that come with working in a dynamic, globally connected market. I believe the operational knowledge I’ve gained is highly transferable across industries, and I’m eager to continue learning, contributing, and growing in a forward-thinking, impact-driven role.
