About

I am a scuba diver; this is a nuance of saying that what determines my strength as a professional is that I can adjust and operate in new and changing environments. Highly personable, with attention to detail and with a can-do positive attitude; I have led and driven major events with a proven ability to ensure the smooth running of each project on time and on budget. My personal and professional commitment is to be a difference maker, to focus on continuous improvement and create a positive impact.
