About

Almost 20 years, 4 industries, and a consistent track record of smashing targets. Here is what I have learned. When you look across my career—from environmental services to industrial trade and business ownership—the industries change, but the results remain the exact same. I have always believed that sales growth and operational excellence go hand in hand. Over the past 19 years, I have focused on turning those beliefs into measurable achievements: Exceeding KPIs: Consistently smashing quarterly sales and Gross Profit (GP) targets at major organisations like Veolia and Würth Australia. Scale & Growth: Spearheading new business acquisitions and strategic account expansions to capture regional market share. Team Leadership: Co-managing and mentoring teams of up to 12 employees, optimising rosters, and streamlining workshop operations. Financial & Risk Oversight: Managing full P&L, complex tax prep, and cash reconciliation as a business owner, alongside enforcing strict OH&S compliance on industrial work sites. I thrive when trusted to manage complex customer portfolios and high-pressure operational environments.
