Skills

I am a highly motivated and innovative professional experienced in the Financial, Engineering, Manufacturing, and IT industries. I have well-grounded knowledge of project management & planning methodologies and a seasoned negotiator. Proven ability of liaising effectively at all levels and a considerable degree of commercial acumen. Focus and drive are core personal attributes which together with my ability to quickly grasp new technologies enables me to deliver success. My vision is not in the least parochial and I have developed a strong understanding of the mechanics and dynamics of business from a ‘helicopter’ view. Determination and resilience are two of the most important traits I have to offer.
