My diverse background in Construction, Mining, FMCG, Automotive and distribution industries has given me insight into activity based costing environments and while specialising more in Procurement operations, this has meant that I have a firm understanding of the “opportunity costs” in managing an effective supply chain and the “total cost of ownership” for my employer. Through each of my previous work roles I have been given the opportunity to learn business techniques from different focused companies and in each role I have pushed myself to take on extra tasks and responsibilities. At this point in my career I have established a personal skill set that effectively manages my time and delivers results whether focusing on cost reduction strategies or building business cases for direction setting of business operations. I believe in delivering to expectations for either internal / external customers and look for positive outcomes in all business dealings.
